Example of this kind of shit content: https://www.facebook.com/reel/726005533801035

no, but perhaps you've watched 'fight videos' or something more generic and that's the keyword(s) that are applying.
No judgement from me, but this is what you want.
Do a cleanup using the 3 dots.

I don't, and judging from the other comments on the post, I'm not the only one to have noticed that Facebook is pushing sexual / pedo / violent AI slop...

Just because your retard algorithm saw me stop scrolling where a video auto played, does not mean I want to see trash. Kill yourself.
Guns, Scifi, Religion, Tech, and lots and lots of jokes/memes.
Besides every other post being an AD, nothing objectionable at all.
Lets talk about how the algorithm works. It gives you want you want, what you interact with. On occasion offer things that other people like your profile do like. If you dont like something, you click the 3 dots and say 'not interested' and it goes away.
I'm guessing you dont have a brand new account where it's attempting to guess what you like; you interact with those things or the people like you do interact with those. You probably like to post on MAGA related things to tell them how terrible they are or whatever; but the algorithm doesnt consider if you're taking it positively or negatively.
>why do we accept this shit? Also engineers working in AI, is that really the world you want to build?
Working as intended. You will keep getting what you want. You have to do some soul searching of why this is happening to you.
There is debate to be had, often we cant see the big picture or consequences of new innovations.
