when it’s your main place to see friends photos, and where all your friends already are its difficult to just not use it.

you don’t use it and never have, so naturally you won’t feel left out. but those that use it frequently absolutely will.

the old curmudgeon “These dern kids and thur instagrams!” isn’t really all that helpful, I feel.

Would you kindly…

oh it’s a relief that we have recently changed it. the bastard roku is completely locked out.

my roku TV felt my wrath because it dared to show me a banner ad while I was in the middle of a game.

i promptly disabled internet on it completely. now it’s a dumb TV. and my life is much better.

I’m the one who corrected them. I’m an american. quit being weird about americans for no reason.

agreed. there is a way to keep that algorithm private. on a person to person case.

that information would just have to not be sold. thats the difference.

an algorithm wouldn’t be inherently evil. the data collected is what’s potentially dangerous. but if its kept to just your personal account, it could be quite safe

and make the app less of a chore to use.

i mean… a lot of the content on the fediverse is literally just lifted straight from the other “junk food” social media websites that were just named.

its just a federated experience. not a “healthy” one. I’m all for moving more people over to the fediverse but let’s maybe take it down a couple notches with the weird propaganda-esque ads?

it quite annoys me as well. “No annoying algorithms!”

…great. so it will never learn what content I actually like to see and will feed me random crap I don’t want to see.

i get like the same 5 videos of someone walking around outside and a couple of ads for stuff I’m not even remotely interested in.

i absolutely despise youtube. these fuckers are putting ads on paused videos now, and then this.

they will never get better. only worse. we need regulations badly.
