Didn't Trump influence the election using similar tactics?

Maybe? The whole Israeli/Palestinian thing is one massive propaganda war. Both sides eternally moaning how people are getting banned or censored for their content. The logical take away is that the content moderation and recommendation algorithms aren't up to scratch. I get pro-Palestine stuff in my recommended tweets. It's not because Hamas are controlling twitter, it's because I've viewed pro-Palestine content.

I've not being viewing pro Israeli content. This is my point.
One day I login and see an absolute tonne of it being rammed down by throat, it came out of nowhere. There is absolutely no doubt Musk and his co hurts can influence what we view. Especially after his recent visit. |

But do you keep scrolling, which generates similar videos and content? It’s easy to fall into a spiral of scrolling especially when what you’re seeing boils your blood.

It doesn't boil my blood, it's an observation and a change. Something changed which I am highlighting.
I have no interest in listening to Israeli lies. |

Yea, this is pretty much how it works. One can also mute words, block content etc

Muting words doesn't seem to work with ads. It's flooded with the last sting of the dying crypto wasp

Does this happen on the 'following' tab? You should only see people you are following, some content that they retweet from accounts you don't follow, and some sh*tty ads. You should not see random tweets from accounts you don't follow, unless someone you are following is pushing said content. That's my understanding anyway

I never stray away from the "following" tab unless I use the search function for something specific.
Would probably end up deleting it if I did.

And my point is, it’s probably more straightforward. The algorithm doesn’t know your views or persuasion. It’s works on repetition. Unless you are diligent in trying to block content, you can fall into the trap of watching accounts that you don’t like. One goes to them almost reactively.

Pre Musk was a whole lot of pro vaccine government stuff, but that suits a lot of narratives on here so there was no need to worry about following or no following tabs.
Should this be in the conspiracy theory thread?

No need to worry. I saw a bunch of anti-vax stuff, and that was my own fault for rage watching/scrolling. Nothing to do with Government.

Yeah there's pros and cons from it going from far left to far right. There's more freedom of speech but there's also a lot more fake news. A good counter to that is the community notes but they'll only target viral posts.

Community notes are a welcome addition but the blue tick strategy has had a huge, negative impact

A user’s personal experience on these platforms is what they make it. And as a result it can look right/left or weighted. But people really need to think about their habits and clicks and behaviour when mindlessly scrolling
