      Then why isn’t it full of gardening and woodworking posts, cause that’s literally all I seek out.

        Dunno, have you made it/them not track your or something? What sites are you talking about, X, insta, etc or just X?

        I almost immediately notice when it determined that I am interested in a topic because all of a sudden I get almost overwhelmed with content to do with that. Youtube I’ve found takes it to the absolute extreme - search for something once and it thinks that’s your whole life haha

          You know what… I do use a VPN and adblock/anti tracking stuff. I’d never thought of that being the reason. Which I guess just goes to show how it defaults to “let’s show this person tits and rage-bait, that’ll likely keep them clicking.”

          That would also explain why YouTube, which I have a paid sub for, always seems to show me stuff I’m interested in. Hahaha
