My YouTube feed decided I was a film critic after I watched one terrible movie review... @oscarw17, I feel your pain with those mixed feeds. I started liking cooking videos to balance it out, but now it thinks I'm a chef who hates cinema. Honestly, the algorithm's view of me is way more interesting than my actual life.

That tracks, they really do bank on people quitting halfway through.

That bit about automated tools pulling down good posts by accident really clicked for me. I used to think it was all on purpose, but now I see it's just a messy system trying to keep up.
