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?

    Twitter’s algorithm, like most social media companies, promotes rage bait on purpose because angry users are users that get into flame wars with other users and as a result, raise engagement metrics to show advertisers.

    It might stop if you just don’t engage for long enough, but honestly, just consider a different site altogether if you need microblog stuff in your system, Twitter is going the way of Blockbuster.
