How hard is it for recommendation algos to not go overboard instantly?
You buy one toilet seat on Amazon and suddenly Bezo's minions are convinced you're a toilet seat afficionado. You click on one swimsuit picture on Pinterest and your feed instantly turns into softcore porn. You put your phone on the table while a guy with blue eyes and blonde hair is doing a TikTok dance and your phone literally turns into Hitler.
There is no moderation, not even in moderation.

I hope the toilet seat you bought is a Toto Washlet β²π
the other ones I understand, but a toilet seat is typically a once every x years purchase, unless youβve got something seriously wrong going on.
You're dangerously close to triggering the swimsuit Hitler algo
Swimming in a toilet
I followed @ODELL and now everything is in all caps
It is crazy specific sometimes too. I had a week where every other thing in Facebook was ai bikini pics of Emma Watson because she was the other half of the screen while I watched a comedian's video one day.
For stupid bonus points, during that week I don't think I saw a single video from the same comedian.
ONLY WAY IS UP
toilet afficionado :)
We should have tech to spam these algos.
Feed random "interests" through the mic, camera and browser when not using the phone for example
Thatβs one hell of a tactic! Next time my gf catches me watching softcore porn, Iβll just claim I had been browsing for a swimsuit
