    • Algorithm shows a preview of a chaotic scene where the content isn’t easily identified.
    • You open / interact / linger on it to figure out what is happening before identifying it as something you don’t want to look at.
    • Algorithm detects increased interaction and happily serves up more.

    I play a little game with Instagram sometimes. I click on one (1) thirst trap bikini girl post in the search reel. Then I see how many times I have to press the little 3 dot menu and pick “not interested” on allllll the other thirst trap bikini girl posts that immediately appear.

    I generally have to press “not interested” about 15 times before my feed reverts to only having bikini girl thirst traps once every 20 or so posts.
