glad to have stopped using social media. It was nothing but a massive time sink for me.

No worries, you can easily fool any algorithm by faking things on Social network.

I just tried this 5yrs later with a fresh youtube account - tried to go down a right wing rabbit hole starting with Fox News and Tucker Carlson.... within liking less than 10 videos (marking a progression as i wen) was getting: more Fox (ofc), then Heritage Foundation videos, climate change denialsm, anti-Vax, anti-CRT/BLM, anti-Zelenksyy, "war on woke" stuff, things about genetics, and how AR15 works videos 😔 The algorithms are the tool of radicalization, mark my words, and with AI now? I fear it's going to go the same path as "Tay" did in the past.... except this time bring and influence people and bring them along too.... 😔😔
