No, I don’t think Meta hates such algorithms. It just couldn’t beat TikTok algorithm-wise.
the blatant algorithm manipulation around elections and politics is just the icing on the cake. sure, china is probably doing this too, but they're either being more subtle or playing a longer game. meta et al may have come out ahead for a few quarters but what's that worth if user count is declining long term?
From time to time it will show you content adjacent to what you watch. After three or so viewings your feed will add the content you watched/engaged with regularly.
Press "not interested" twice (or sometimes once), and content will disappear.
American social media effectively ignores any input from users.
Are we sure? My experience with Instagram is the opposite, whenever you linger a bit on a reel you'll start to get more of that content
It's a pain because you have to constantly press "not interested" to curate your feed, I'd pretty much prefer to have content feeds, so that I can watch anything without having it go in my (im)permanent record
