Well, I haven't really used any Meta platforms for at least 5 years, so I don't think that's how they're deciding what to serve me.

I could definitely believe that I used to click on more pictures of girls than boys back in high school and college when I actually used Facebook. But they would have been real pictures of people I was friends with.

To your point, I'm sure if I used the product more, the algorithm would get "better" according to what I engaged with.

I read a RARE friend-made post, close tab, decide to react/support/comment/like on it, reopen FB and this post is buried forever in the feed, findable only if you search this person again. fuck them for fucking with my feed. Forget if this was a post from some group, since they can be shown to you out of order, good luck finding it
