Vent: I used to think the algorithm just showed you more of what you liked. After my post about a specific grout brand got 3 views, I changed my mind.

Honestly though, is the algorithm really that deep? It's just some code trying to guess what keeps people scrolling. Sometimes it works, sometimes your grout post gets buried. It's not a personal attack, it's just bad luck or boring content to a machine. People act like it's some grand conspiracy instead of a messy system that kinda sucks at its job lol.

Totally feel that. It's like the algorithm decides what's worth seeing, not us. Happens with everything from news feeds to what music gets pushed now.

Ugh, right? It's just a popularity contest for data points... not actual good stuff.
