That’s all well and good, but gaming an algorithm to get attention for yourself like that is bullshit and I’ve seen him do it enough times over the past few weeks to see that’s what is happening. Needs to be called out.

Without particular disagreement or knowledge of the poster in question, with aim to focus on what I see as the ultimate solution, there is a need for open source, shareable user side filters and choice of algorithms so as to avoid chasing a more perfect centralized algorithm formula or to be obligated to perpetual per-user vigilance toward those crossing an arbitrary line subjectively chosen.

Yes, my criticism isn’t specifically about algorithms but the behavior exhibited here. Open, user definable/customizable algorithms are an idea I hope evolves. But this influencer algorithmic manipulation bullshit needs to die.
