It shows you things you engage with. You essentially have to retrain it now.

If you see a video that although you might usually watch it, but it's going to be a negative for your brain, quit the app. Doing that is the ultimate flag for the algo, as the last thing it wants you to do is leave.

Then after watching only positive videos, you'll then end up with a feed full of only that.

at least on tiktok I 100% quickly skip past videos that I know might be interesting, I just don't want to see more of them for the next hour.

a good algorithm is like a banzai tree... need to perpetually prune it into shape.
