so I made the executive decision to nuke my Twitter account because it was all just politics and x corp stuff, plus all my followers were porn bots and elon bots plus some random men. then I got a fresh one and the algorithm was perfectly balanced. I liked it that way. but as soon as I started interacting with a few of the accounts I normally do, things went askew. I made the mistake of following the owner and now my feed is just back to politics and x corp stuff. it made me think about the nature of algorithms and how retarded they are.

first of all, we should have the ability to reset the algorithm. the default should always be how it is on a fresh account where there are no identity inferences – science, art, vibey things. secondly, I want the ability to save the algorithm when it becomes optimal to my current liking. if I want to see more sports and Tom Brady content because I've been interacting with more sports and less political content, I should be able to save it the FYP algorithm in the same way that I bookmark a post.

I don't like the notion of twitter communities and groups or whatever, because the FYP is supposed to be the perfect mix of content I like.

anyways, I think it's clearly a problem with the overpowering nature of a few accounts, where the algorithm just goes full blown retarded and sucks you back into the mainstream algorithm pipeline and there's just no way of getting back to normal. I even tried to make an alt and that didn't work because the algo knew it was me.

perhaps, this is also an issue with identity inferences in that the algorithm just assumes you want to be inundated with this type of content and locks you into an experience you only wanted for like five seconds because it's otherwise too overbearing. maybe this is why the lack of algorithm choice is an intentional mode of propagandization and it lends itself well toward the stagnancy of intellectual progress. very effective!

but I like algorithm choice because most of the time I do just want to see science, art, and vibey content. I just hate the feeling of *ugh, not this shit again* all day every day.
