An explainer for why I don't fuck with algorithmic social media

If you give a pigeon a little button to peck that releases pigeon food, it will push the button when it's hungry.

If you give a pigeon a button to peck that releases food every 5 pecks, it will peck it more often.

If you give a pigeon a button to peck that releases food at a randomly selected, always shifting number of pecks, the pigeon will peck that fucking button all day long.

Algorithm based social media is not set up to give you the best most fun stuff all the time, it is set up to give you a bunch of stress and nothingness with a randomized reward of something that actually makes you happy, because they want you pecking that button all damn day. It is a slot machine of content, meant to keep you putting in quarters made of your time and attention till you've nothing yet.

At least if I'm having a shit day on my own Tumblr feed it's because I've made a bad choice about who to follow and I can fix it.

in the future if I see one of you dhitheads write a callout post on someone else using a probkematic platform or consuming media by problematic people im gonna take a peek at your account and if i see that you're a Twitter user I'm gonna. idk what I'm gonna do but just know that I will think you're deeply stupid

"this author has done something problematic let's not read their works" you spend 6 hours a day feeding The Elon musk's algorithm which gives him more money shut the fick up actually
