I tried to outsmart the social media algorithm. Here's how it outsmarted me (www.abc.net.au)

This is a key reason behind my discomfort with social media. The algorithms that seem unresponsive to clear signals of intent was the last straw. Ended up leaving YouTube over the incessant push to new channels and ragebait shit.

Anyway, lemmy might be a cesspit at times, but its a cesspit I can choose/not choose, to engage with, and thats some nice anti-monopolisation of my online experience in the design.

I already quit youtube for odysee, reddit for lemmy, insta for pixelfed, tiktok for loops, x for mastodon, etc...

Nowadays those social medias are just trash. I can't fight against those companies and if i can delete them today without any consequences then why wait for tomorrow ?

I share your hate of YouTube.

But FYI Odysee is run by a hyperneoliberal Trump-adjacent CEO who jokes with his friends about selling user data for top price. I've been in the room with them. Disgusting people

thats true, but while everything have a downside what option left to choose?

atleast i know what am watching and odysee don't have an ecosystem and addictive design + shorts, i prefer odysee for now.

If peertube gets much content and users able to watch every instance content from a single instance then i switch to it.
