Is anyone here going through the same situation? I usually consume content about films, series, anime, etc. But out of nowhere my feed started recommending racist, Nazi and right-wing content. I’m not saying that right-wingers are Nazis or racists, I’m saying that right-wing content is appearing to me alongside racist and Nazi content. Anyone here having the same problem?

    That’s what Elon wants you to see.

    Not just on a personal level, but the algorithm knows if you get hooked, you’re gonna be on the platform a lot.

    Like, you’re basically asking why your shady drug dealer keeps trying to get you to try meth.

    They care about profit more than you’re well being. So they’re throwing an addictive thing at you at every opportunity

      I want to add that I’ve left Twitter to escape its right wingness even before Musk bought the platform.

      Though he may have fanned the fire, he bought an already extremist right wing platform.
