RE: Not Tonight

Hmm I do scroll a lot of X/Twitter because I feel the news flow is the fastest over there, but there is always the tug of war between quantity vs quality. Most of the people I follow usually talk about the financial markets (and a little about US politics because they can be related sometimes), but the past few days, my entire feed is on the shooting incident (iykyk), which I guess has triggered quite a significant response. But like you mentioned, sometimes reading too much negative news can have an effect on mental well being too. I am not sure how the algo works, and I am not sure how to get it to switch back to focus on the financial markets.

With the algos, you just have to spend more time interacting with the content that you want to see and go past the stuff you don't. If you want to see financial stuff, interact with and comment on those more and they will show up more. It's a feedback loop to keep you on there.
I am for sure guilty of getting into that loop. You see one sexy woman in a bikini, look at it for a bit and then your algorithm is fucked for a few days or a week lol it's annoying hahaha
Yeah the feedback loop can be annoying! I experienced this for all the cute little dogs and cat photos too!
