How hard is it for recommendation algos to not go overboard instantly?

You buy one toilet seat on Amazon and suddenly Bezo's minions are convinced you're a toilet seat afficionado. You click on one swimsuit picture on Pinterest and your feed instantly turns into softcore porn. You put your phone on the table while a guy with blue eyes and blonde hair is doing a TikTok dance and your phone literally turns into Hitler.

There is no moderation, not even in moderation.

Eyes add suspect

I hope the toilet seat you bought is a Toto Washlet ⛲😂

the other ones I understand, but a toilet seat is typically a once every x years purchase, unless you’ve got something seriously wrong going on.

You're dangerously close to triggering the swimsuit Hitler algo

Swimming in a toilet

I followed nostr:npub1qny3tkh0acurzla8x3zy4nhrjz5zd8l9sy9jys09umwng00manysew95gx and now everything is in all caps

ONLY WAY IS UP

It is crazy specific sometimes too. I had a week where every other thing in Facebook was ai bikini pics of Emma Watson because she was the other half of the screen while I watched a comedian's video one day.

For stupid bonus points, during that week I don't think I saw a single video from the same comedian.

toilet afficionado :)

We should have tech to spam these algos.

Feed random "interests" through the mic, camera and browser when not using the phone for example

That’s one hell of a tactic! Next time my gf catches me watching softcore porn, I’ll just claim I had been browsing for a swimsuit
