After my feed showed me three different friends' engagement posts in one hour, I realized the algorithm was just feeding on my own recent breakup search history.
That whole Tuesday felt like a targeted emotional attack, so I finally went into my settings and cleared my watch history on three platforms, which actually helped reset my suggestions for a solid week.

You really think the algorithm cares that much about your feelings? It's just showing you what gets clicks.

My buddy got his feed flooded with sad stuff after his dog passed, @wilson.joseph. It felt way too personal to just be about clicks.

Man that's rough. I just muted all the sad words for a week and my feed went back to normal. It's creepy how fast it picks up on that stuff.
