I think many platforms optimise for interactions, with no regard for whether they are positive or negative.

As a result, I often find myself closing youtube tab because there is not only nothing to watch, but nothing to scroll through even. On a platform with billions of videos, at least thousands of which I might like to watch if given a chance. I find this incredibly stupid.
Same for google search, really. It turned from “I’ll find you that if it exists” into “Look, if you change your query to ‘cool products if at all barely relevant to …’, I have literally billions of results for that”.
