Oh now I'm thinking about how Facebook shows you MORE of what you block sometimes because it just measures user-interaction and nothing else. I once tried to block all of the casino and gambling ads, only for FB to show me ONLY those ads for 3 days.

It did, somewhat, the same thing with AI generated slop, except I've kept at that for so long there probably aren't any AI slinging pages left. Occasionally I see something and block it, and then go a week or so.

THIS is why I do not understand why anyone is still at Facebook.

I was thinking the same thing recently about YouTube’s “skip ad” feature. I’m feeling more and more confident that clicking “skip” ensures the algorithms that there is a live person actively watching, resulting in more ads being fed.

I made the mistake of blocking & REPORTING a 'reel' of a disgusting short vid of a topless woman w/a baby crawling over her b00bs (clearly prurient, but using the breastfeeding loophole) The algorithm did NOT care that I was reporting that crap as p*rn, just kept finding more of it 2 show me! 😣🤢

Yep, I had to block some flat-earth nonsense on FB, and now half of what I see is flat-earth, chemtrail, antivaxx, etc. And I keep blocking it. You'd think creating an algorithm that responds to what users want would be desireable, but they seem to want to create the opposite.
