Reply to comment by icedrift in Only seeing AI posts on my feed yet there are tons of other Non-AI posts in the Sub. by Tamagotchi41

A success in making me want to Unsub? I guess if that's how they measure success 😂

Edit: if it's pushing the most popular why am I not seeing the top posts when sorted by "Hot" on the sub itself?

Well it did make you post. These systems aren't exactly looking ahead they just want the max amount of engagement at any given time.

As for that edit they don't push the most popular posts they push posts that have the highest change of retaining your attention. At many social media sites (maybe reddit but idk), those recommendations are unique to each user based on the absurd amount of data they collect. Only a few engineers at reddit would know for sure.
