This.

I did an experiment to make the algorithm think I'm left wing on alternate accounts.

Not to much time passed before my feed was filled with the most hideous and stupid things some "right wing" people did.

It is the same on my primary accounts but the other way around.

No wonder we hate each other.

If you continue this experiment, maybe they algorithms will catch on and the recommendations will be tailored to program a split personality into you, so instead of losing influence on one customer, both partisan sides of yourself will become two useful, valuable customers.
