I honestly I'm surprised how much of a problem this is for people. All I've done is made sure to hit the "not interested" type buttons on YouTube and tiktok whenever they pop up, and I've run into next to nothing after like 3 times of doing that. Sometimes I'll watch something the algorithm thinks is adjacent to ragebait or alt-right bullshit so it'll try to feed it to me, and after not-interested'ing the video it goes back to feeding me the stuff I actually want..

Do people just not use those features or is my experience with the algorithms really that different?

So you’re actually thinking of it a little more narrowly, which is understandable. What I mean by “content designed to piss you off” is VERY broad.

Conservatives like Fox News, but it makes them pissed off, right? Social media can be exactly the same way.

Ah that's fair, I think I might've been injected other related conversations I've seen into this one. My bad!
