I know what you mean!! This week I’ve had nothing but baby goats which is ace but then loads of reels of men who aren’t really tradesmen but dress like that then take their tops off, ew! God know what I clicked on to attract those!

My husband was talking to me about a hot water tap - every single advert is about taps. Who knew there were so many companies and types of boiling water taps.

They are always listening 👀

I’m going to see Benson Boone next month and my timeline is currently filled with photos of him with his shirt off. I’m not complaining 😂 but I am also getting private messages from at least eight different accounts claiming to be Benson, all addressing me as “dear” - I’m almost tempted to reply to one, and see how long ‘he’ tells me about his granny’s medical bills that he can’t pay.

I'm just stunned people still use Facebook.
Just something to look at when I’m bored and caught up on my Tattle threads 🤣 and as @cowtastrophe said above, it’s alright for local stuff. Our water went off for 6 days last month and it was good for updates (once I’d scrolled past all the moaning). I’ve turned off most notifications for it now so I don’t get tempted to go on there as much cos it is really tit

Tell him not to worry, your cousin is a Nigerian prince who can send him all the money he needs for just a small banking fee....

It’s not only Facebook, my YT has been recommending some rather weird stuff lately and also for weeks on end. At some point it was extremely small channels doing some makeup stuff, with less than 50 subscribers and always videos that were up less than an hour.
This week I’m supposed to be interested in visuals of childbirth and fertility. While not uninteresting, I’m child free by choice. Why should I be interested in that content specifically?
Oh and there was a month of very AI-looking pictures that always were for voideos “can’t believe this is just lentils and spices” and an absolutely fake looking thing of flesh-coloured plasticine role.

YT seems have gone weird on me, as well. Not showing anything I usually watch but a lot of crappy "drama" channels and stuff about video games? I wonder if they've put some crappy new AI on the algorithm or something.

Influencers who are selling the stuff on Vinted that I know they got due to collaborations and ads. Surely that's dodgy tax wise.

Same for me, I watch quite a lot of stuff on YouTube and recently I'm being recommended stuff that's nothing like any of my usual interests. The huge long ads are driving me insane now too

I've got to say youtube lite at £7.99 per month for no ads has been my best treat to myself recently. Of course everyone now uses my log in on the TV so my algorithm is shot.
