Instagram does something similar with suggested posts. Every time I see suggested content in my feed, I click the extra settings and tell it to “snooze suggested content for 30 days”. There’s no option to turn it off entirely, but there’s an option to disable it for 30 days. they know some people don’t want it but they really really want to shove it down your throat.
- Full_Clark 3y agoI activated that 30-day snooze for months in a row. I no longer even have that option. Others I've showed it to still have it, so either I'm part of an A/B test, or I exceeded my fiscal year allowance of browsing my actual follows without algorithmic fluff interposing. Joke's on them, I set a 15-min daily limit on the app and spend my time elsewhere.
- nerdponx 3y agoThey probably did some user studies and found out that even users who disable it end up scrolling more when it is enabled. The only way to win is to not play.
- Nursie 3y agoI’d take that over facebook’s insistence that you can only turn off individual suggestions. There appears to be no way to turn off all of them, even for a little while.
