I fucked up my algo watching animal grooming and cute cat videos. Funny enough something I like to watch because it's soothing has turned into something that ruins my day.

Kind of fucked that people are using animal abuse for clicks.

Gonna have to watch out for this, watch funny animal videos with my kid on my phone sometimes before bedtime.

It's kind of insidious because the video thumbnails don't break any rules and the videos themselves are usually about rescues, but they use stills from the video of the animal not well for clicks.
