Tuesday Tirade Feb 28: Algorithms and Cats

“Hey, it could be worse.”

Yes, I guess it could be worse.

On any of my social media accounts (all 3 of them), I try to delete/block ads that say “suggested for you” or the “because you watched”. And I get it, companies want to make money, and advertising brings in a lot of it.

But lately, on my Instagram account (@lines_by_leon) every fifth or sixth post is a video of cats doing funny things and I don’t remember ever looking at or subscribing to the accounts they are from.

Oh, I watch them. C’mon, cats is funny. I’m just thankful I didn’t click the invitation from the lovely ladies in my area who wanted to chat with me.
