A comment on I announced my divorce on Instagram and then AI impersonated me. Parent comment

I made a tiktok account to write a comment on a video I hated. Now when i sign in again I am presented with lots of awful videos from the guy I dislike. I cannot delete my viewing history using the website, and following other accounts doesn't remove the obsession tiktok has with always showing me his videos as the default. I'm not installing the app, so the only way around this is to delete my account completely.

Classic "any interaction is positive interaction". That's modern platforms to you.

Do not try LinkedIn. Not even once.

Just recently, Twitter started making the default view "For You" instead of "Following" with no way to switch back. Fortunately there's an extension that fixes that and lets you eliminate the For You view entirely.

LinkedIn blocked my account for security reasons and is apparently asking for more information, so I don't care. I simply quit LinkedIn.

And is it just me, or has LinkedIn Recruiter become all the more useless after the LLM age? At least we're not renewing that abomination next year, opting to use more flesh-and-blood headhunters.

You can choose the option to tell TikTok you are 'not interested' in videos like these, or block the account entirely. There are legitimate criticisms about social media algorithms, but I don't understand why you jump to the conclusion that you have to delete your account.

Facebook is spooky that way.

They track and log every reel viewed.

I suppose everyone does it but actually seeing it is another level of creepy.
