- 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.
