TheZeldaZone👑🏳️⚧️🎮🎀<p>I hate <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/AlgoShit" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AlgoShit</span></a> as much or more than anyone, but remember to Abuse The Algo to help your friends when necessary! </p><p>Real things that do help:</p><p>Steam Reviews/Wishlists for indie games</p><p>Commenting on YT Videos</p><p>SharingTM on SocialTM</p>
TheZeldaZone👑🏳️⚧️🎮🎀<p>What I hate most about <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/AlgoShit" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AlgoShit</span></a> is how they expect/force you to carve out the single most marketable aspect of yourself and be ONLY that</p><p>You can't be a full person, you can't even just be your job. "The historian" is too broad; you have to be "The Disney Chair Historian". You can't be a Gamer, you have to be "The Raid Shadow Legends Speedrun Guy" or something</p><p>Fuck off</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/socialmedia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>socialmedia</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/algorithms" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>algorithms</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/fediverse" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>fediverse</span></a></p>
TheZeldaZone👑🏳️⚧️🎮🎀<p>"oh boy I sure do hope I have to craft every individual character of every post I make in perpetuity in a way that does not offend a constantly changing computer algorithm designed exclusively for the profit of rich people who are not me" - ravings of the utterly deranged</p><p>This is REAL algoshit posted by REAL algosite users </p><p><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/algoshit" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>algoshit</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/algorithm" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>algorithm</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/fediverse" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>fediverse</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/socialmedia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>socialmedia</span></a></p>
SerTapTap (She/Her)🎮🏳️⚧️<p>Speaking of, as a Content™ Creator® I often use sites I wouldn't personally use to try and Push The Brand</p><p>I've found Facebook *exceptionally* useless for driving traffic (no paid ads fwiw) and seemingly increasingly so</p><p>I had a few thousand followers due to <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/AbyssRium" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AbyssRium</span></a> on facebook and I'd get 1-2 digit VIEWS on posts let alone engagement numbers.</p><p>I know <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/algoshit" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>algoshit</span></a> is all about rich get richer but I've never seen it quite THAT bad</p><p>So yeah, I probably won't try too hard w/ threads</p>
SerTapTap (She/Her)🎮🏳️⚧️<p>"unalive" is a particularly unpleasant meme because "x is dead" probably has the most euphemisms out of any non-sexual thing in human history??</p><p>kicked the bucket, no longer with us, bought the farm, dirt nap etc etc etc</p><p>god I hate <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/algoshit" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>algoshit</span></a> and <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/algospeak" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>algospeak</span></a> </p><p>...also surely "unalive" was added to the algo like, the day it was discovered? There is no way it still works</p>
SerTapTap (She/Her)🎮🏳️⚧️<p>A friend was getting recommendations on a Flash Game website that were actually relevant and it reminded me, Recommendation Algorithms used to, you know, actually try to give you related content.</p><p>That's not really what they do anymore, they just try to funnel you to the most "sticky" content so you'll waste all your time there.</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/algoshit" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>algoshit</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/enshittification" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>enshittification</span></a></p>
SerTapTap (She/Her)🎮🏳️⚧️<p>Thing about <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/AlgoShit" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AlgoShit</span></a> is not only is it Rich Get Richer, it's also *incredibly* lazy.</p><p>Everyone seems to think it's super deep, they know you're pregnant before you, blah blah, but what most of them do is just say "oh, you looked at popular thing" then correlate out to similar popular things.</p><p>I clicked ONE sailor moon wand, saw it was $150, and noped out. This has been my recommends all week now. It has NO idea what I want. It just knows what's popular.</p>
SerTapTap (She/Her)🎮🏳️⚧️<p><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://masto.ai/@Carnivius" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>Carnivius</span></a></span> YT recommendations are not really all that personalized in my experience, and it's more about "hmmm these already huge creators are most similar to what I Think your interests are"</p><p>and outrage stuff gets HUGE ~engagement~ so <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/algoshit" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>algoshit</span></a> tends to favor it. Rage watching is still watching. yt/fb/etc don't care about your mood they just want you ~engaged~</p>
SerTapTap (She/Her)🎮🏳️⚧️<p>" This week, X started flagging NSFW posts as “sensitive material,” as Rolling Stone reported, and restricting flagged accounts to limit their reach."</p><p>This is the evil thing about <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/algoshit" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>algoshit</span></a>. You don't know how severe it is, it's not totally banned so if you say "I'm being limited" people don't believe you because they can still see it. And you don't really know you ARE limited without really good data.</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/elonmusk" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>elonmusk</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/twitter" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>twitter</span></a></p>
SerTapTap (She/Her)🎮🏳️⚧️<p>Got a whole month of <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Youtube" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Youtube</span></a> Shorts queued up, about 1/3rd cats, 1/3rd PragerU YTP highlights/supercuts, and 1/3rd other shortcuts courtesy of my editor who I don't think is on masto.</p><p>Shorts is...interesting. It's super ultra mega algo driven and sometimes you do actually get a spike despite not being huge. </p><p>But once the algo decides it's done with you, it's DONE. You can get 1k views in <1 hour, 99% likes, great watched %...but it still says "nah" and kicks you out of the feed.</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Algoshit" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Algoshit</span></a></p>
SerTapTap (She/Her)🎮🏳️⚧️<p>woof <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/threads" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>threads</span></a> is SCARY I logged in just to test if hashtags worked or not (no), liked one vaguely left leaning political post in my generic mix of Brands and Sports Brands that is the unstoppable algo timeline</p><p>I refreshed. ALL of the timeline is now political takes. ALL of it. After 1 like and 1 refresh. Sheesh.</p><p>No <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/algoshit" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>algoshit</span></a> for me thanks. I'll look at politics when I want to, not when you decide I want to.</p>
SerTapTap (She/Her)🎮🏳️⚧️<p>Once in a while I'll wonder "is this too many hashtags will I get spam flagged" and then I remember</p><p>...oh right, <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Mastodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Mastodon</span></a> doesn't have any <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Algoshit" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Algoshit</span></a>. I can just post what I want and real humans decide if they like it.</p><p>Yeah sure, but mastodon is hard but "post an image but never a link, reply with the link or you get deboosted" Twitter is simple</p>
SerTapTap (She/Her)🎮🏳️⚧️<p>At it's core, all I want out of posting shit online is for the people who want to see it to see it. </p><p>Thanks to Google, my website works inconsistently for that, but sometimes great.</p><p>Thanks to Mastodon, that works consistently.</p><p>Thanks to <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Algoshit" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Algoshit</span></a>, on YouTube about 1% or less of my 28,000 subscribers get notified of any given video. Woohoo</p>
SerTapTap (She/Her)🎮🏳️⚧️<p>Something too rarely mentioned in articles bemoaning Mastodon is that my 500 followers on Mastodon give me many times more </p><p>~engagement~</p><p>than my 2500 on Twitter.</p><p>Thanks to no <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Algoshit" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Algoshit</span></a>, people actually SEE your posts if they want to. It's actually a social network again instead of a rich-get-richer "hey did you see this 1 million retweets thing (which you probably did, because it got 1 million retweets, but here it is again)"</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/mastodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>mastodon</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/twitter" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>twitter</span></a></p>
