> I can't think of anything I've personally done on or off the internet which would make them good friend suggestions.

Being born a male a few decades ago

Instagram would do this to my discovery feeds. Every month or so I’d mark the photos with sexy women as something I don’t want to see, but they’d inevitably come back. I figure I lingered too long at a photo that featured an attractive woman. Deleted Instagram after this annoyed me too much.

Sometimes I wonder if maybe Facebook’s algorithm is amazing and these people could become best friends. But I tried this a few times and they all sucked.

I suspect it’s as stupid as ranking all members based on some dumb algorithm like “25 year olds like females, this is a female” and just shoveling garbage.

Years ago Facebook just kept recommending people I hated over and over. I wish they would have a mode of “you’re good, we can’t think of anyone else you like.”

It’s like going into a store and the salesperson says “this is perfect for you” and they are just showing you every item in their store.

I would assume even trying to click on these profiles just once shows more “engagement“ and that’s the only thing companies like this “understand”.

Have you tried?
