What the actual frick is going on with IG Reels? : Instagram 
Redditor finds himself stuck in an instagram slop death spiral. It's 
pretty bleak.

Browsing rDrama makes you r-slurred.
The other sites....
Bleak.
It's because you actively click those types of videos in your FYP. Mines full of robots, 3D prints, bikes, muscle cars and engineering stuff
Only things I click on are tech and video game related stuff, takes 30 seconds of swiping for it to turn into whatever this is
I actually believe him. The slop economy has won.

This is actually hillarious. It's like watching someone in a dystopian show flick through tv channels

This is how they get you. They put some weird shit on your feed, something so weird you have to look at it / can't look away, and then they assume you must love that type of content because you interacted with it for X seconds. Once it starts it can't be stopped unless you purge your feed by only consuming cat content or something. RIP

You're trying to make it sound like it obviously makes sense, but IMO watching some weird af video randomly put in your feed for 30 seconds shouldn't lead to a large percentage of your feed being weird videos

Yeah, I quit TikTok because of this. It was gross stuff to, like parasite removal procedures, and it wouldn't go away.

I got cursed with a fatso feed once and I was clicking not interested on every single post but that didn't help at all. I don't remember how I cured it ultimately but my blocklist and not interested list reached 3 digits probably

I've had to purge YT shorts so much because my feed takes a week to go from Warhammer Lore and History videos to the usual Tik-Tok slop, "millennials do it like this, Gen X do it like this."

The reason I barely visit my FB timeline is because it's invaded by BIPOCS, it's 90% rap and basketball.
I never like or comment on any post but it's probably because I read the comments. Black ppl arguing is always amusing.

I too have been a victim
of the data hamsters' speed. "Oh you watched 12 seconds of a particular video 
or got linked to a specific thing? That's all you see now."

That's the kind of thing breadtubers have been complaining about where you watch 1 alt-right video and the algorithm starts introducing more and more nazi stuff. In business it's called the alt-right radicalization rabbithole. That's definitely much sadder than just giving slight extra exposure to disenfranchised PoC creators

Not true since YouTube changed the algo to suggest "deradicalization" breadtube slop.

I'm so glad I got banned from instagram for racism. It's actually really hard to do - they give you like 15 chances before finally deleting you. I would recommend everyone get themselves banned, your quality of life improves dramatically afterward

I've curated my reels to almost exclusively feature schizo shit that I find funny. I think some of the schizo accounts must've been
content farms because sometimes I get "selling aluminum scrap 600 rupees please redeem" shit now on top of the normal seeing Buddha in paper towel rolls, AI slop with voice to text about spiritual energies, Arab sheiks posting their exotic pets, ghetto car dealerships advertising hooking r-slurs on 29% APR deals, and people talking about colloidal silver

It's insane. I've blocks 100s of youtube channels, dozens of websites, 10,000 or more reddit users and yet still an endless stream of low effort trash is pushed upon me

i noticed that opening up youtube in incognito and watching a few videos im interested in always gives better recommendations than any long term curation of my feed
im guessing this is because youtube places too much weight on what you watched 2 days ago and what everyone else watches
