As always, it's the users who are at fault. Nevermind the thousands of kids and teens who are exposed to this shit day in and day out.
- milesrout 2y agoIt is the user's fault when the user says in his post that he doesn't interact with the algorithm or give it anything to go on except to click on content he doesn't like and then lo and behold it gives him content he doesn't like. Children should not be on social media at all.
- faxmeyourcode 2y agoSo the algorithm should show an elephant stomping a man to death to anyone who starts a new account until they "correct" "their algorithm" by interacting with better content? The issue is that users are being pushed towards violence, gore, and pornography by default. The bar for these giant multi billion dollar tech companies with hundreds of thousands of employees and the most advanced AI tech in the world is truly as low as it's ever been.
- arkh 2y agoBefore social media you had sites like rotten. And if you were a teenager with access to internet you perused some of those.
- UncleMeat 2y agoThere's been garbage online forever. But you had to seek it out and if you didn't visit those sites you weren't going to come across this content organically in the same way. Now you just have an infinite feed that shows you this stuff organically and unless you are diligent in clicking "not interested" over and over, it'll show up in your feed more and more often.
- faxmeyourcode 2y agoYou didn't stumble up on Rotten while scrolling past your cousin's prom photos like you do with "suggested reels" on Insta. It's being deliberately pushed to the kids, that's my problem.
- r0fl 2y agoYou checked out rotten once in a while A lot of users spend HOURS each day doom scrolling and are exposed to 1000s of pieces of such content weekly if not daily
