I believe that the algorithm of most social media platforms nowadays will try to show you things that trigger an emotional response, as this will result in more engagement from you. This is not a good thing for you mental health, but maximises time spent on the platform.
But with Reddit, there's no need to use the recommendation algorithm at all, as there is Reddit enhancement suite for the browser, and a couple of decent apps for mobile, which each support a filtered front-page with only the stuff you subscribe to.

- fnordian_slip 2y agoI'm on android, so I can't help you with iOS. There's infinity and Reddit is fun which I've used and really liked. You might need to patch the latter with revanced nowadays, but being on this forum, you probably have that anyway in order to make YouTube usable on mobile.
