I feel like that site started to go downhill once they started to implement their A”lGoRiThM.” They started promoting so much negative content to users to keep them hooked - basically my entire feed was taken up by posts of people dying / getting wronged / complaining about how terrible modern society is / etc. And now they just want to be TikTok

    i think that algorithm-based content suggestion can be a good thing if implemented correctly, it's just that what's good and what's profitable doesn't always align. sometimes i wonder what the world would look like right now if actually decent algorithms are the norm instead of the absolute cancer that's common right now.
