I get what google does, but I find the trade-off the be really convenient.

A funny creepy story I have is that I used to use a specific video to go to sleep, and apparently yt's algorithm got so good at figuring out my sleep schedule that it would start recommending me that video when I started getting ready for bed.

recently youtube shorts started recommending me "alpha male" andrew tate videos despite me constantly ticking the "don't recommend this channel again" posts and i guess in response spotify is now recommending me Karl Marx audiobooks

This is hilarious. I hope their code is literally something like

if (user.pref == hate("andrew tate") 
{ 
    user.is = "communist";
}

I wouldn't even be mad.
