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 like pipepipe and freetube since there isn't really an opportunity for either to offer a curated algorithm of content it thinks I would be interested in. And I can block channels which had been a game changer. Especially on the tech and game side, since search results tend to be dominated by a few big youtubers on the first pages.
