A chronological timeline, or even *no* timeline, is better than one that's polluted with sensationalism or misleading information. Less time wasted, better focus.

Among all the tech products you use, the ones you should have the most stringent quality standards for are recommender systems. Outright disable any recommender system you are not entirely happy with (or stop using the app if it can't be disabled).

E.g. I disable the Twitter algorithmic timeline and the Discover feed in Android, among others. The things you *don't* use are as important as the things you do use. Information consumption should be deliberate.

Can we have a totally unbiased recommender system?
-
Almost a nonsensical question. Recommendations are made based on the design of the algorithm making the recommendations. I also don't think they necessarily have to be bad, but existing business models tend to push them rapidly in that direction.

I loved the YouTube app but I stopped using it after they wouldn't stop showing Shorts to me. They should really consider a toggle off for Shorts!
-
The problem is if you toggle 'shorts' they will start showing 'spoons' or random shit based on something you clicked by mistake! We need a button 'no more suggestions'

Recommender system, "because 1 MILLION followers of Kim Kardashian bought A with B therefore you should buy B too."

@SoundCloud has an awful recommender system. It gets stuck in a loop and plays the same songs. It'll take me from one genre or jam to some crap. Then I'll be stuck in crap. Then I have to go to the front page and select some other "sounds like". The whole genre selection is crap. -
@SCsupport@SoundCloudDev@SoundCloudJobs you need a better recommender your system and also a downvote. If I don't want to hear a song I should be able to block it definitely, along with artist and anything that sounds like that. I want a no rap option!
