Such a great demonstration of the concept.

I think it’s inevitable that we’ll start to see more sophisticated ways of organizing our social media feeds.

I don’t think it has to be this binary decision where we either abandon social media altogether or expose ourselves to the most emotionally draining content possible. There’s likely many different unexplored metas as it were.

I often joke that we should have a marketplace of algorithms we can subscribe to, where the sentiment “slider bar” can go from Hello Kitty Island Adventure positivity to 4Chan LiveLeak nihilism, if you so choose.

This is what the algorithm & tools of the platform is supposed to do for you.

It's also what makes you valuable as a free consumer.

yeah some kind of real-time tweaking would be also nice. sometimes i'm in the mood for topics i'm usually not following, but i would go back to my "default" space after a while.

the problem imo is that there is absolutely zero control on most platforms.

on x there is a button called "i'm not interested in this tweet" but obviously it doesn't do anything meaningful
