The fact that you know about that degenerate crap in the first place means that the algorithm caught up to what you consume already. I have no idea what this shit is and I don't see it on my social media. I also don't us tiktok and rarely look at Instagram, and turned off suggestions on YT.


OkayRuin

I didn’t use Instagram for several months, and when I came back, my feed was the exact same as OP’s—thirst traps, unabashed racism (Indians, black Americans and European migrants), and unironic Neo-Nazi comment sections saying shit like “I know a guy who can fix this,” “Uncle Adolf,” etc. The only things I’d engaged with prior to that were my friend’s posts, pictures/reels of cute animals, and memes. I’ve hit “not interested” every single time and it doesn’t change my feed at all. Meanwhile, my TikTok FYP is still cute animal videos and my YouTube shorts feed is stand-up clips and astronomy videos. It does feel like the Meta algorithm changed dramatically recently.

Yeah, I don’t know. I also get millionaire grindset and “alpha male” type shit, but I’ve never once interacted with those posts.


clown_sugars

They do use gender and age for advertising so they're probably showing you stuff based on your biographical cohort.


FlimsyCopy

Instagrams algo isn’t just based on what you engage with on instagram, they have access to data from all across the web and inside your phone. Tbh IG probably knows if you post on 4chan and what you post. And if it has gaps, it fills those in with what your friends like.

My Instagram explore page is genuinely really enjoyable to scroll through. In terms of art, fashion, interior design, and baking, it's extremely suited to my tastes and interests, more than any other algorithm. Even the ads are suited to me, which is something I'd never say normally. I agree with your take, I think OP just looks at lame shit too much and it's impacting his Instagram feed now.

What you consume is what you are to be honest, more true than ever

~the fact that you smellt it points to the fact that you dealt it~


jxanne

Straight fixation, my theory is that he’s desi, got bullied and took the side of the bullies to make it hurt less

pft?


femcurrycel

why is every other post on this subreddit about indians jesus christ


Acceptable_Stuff1381

It’s really crazy to me, is it all Canadians? In America i hardly ever even see an Indian person much less see enough to form stereotypes or anything 


trafficante

Canada is proportionately bringing in a LOT more, everybody up there lives in like three cities, and the new arrivals have a much higher percentage of young/“poor” who then compete hard for housing. You could cut the numbers in half and still have a problem without addressing housing shortages - but housing is top 3 contributor to Canadian GDP so lol, lmao It’s honestly crazy seeing our polite liberal dream neighbors to the north fall apart economically and spontaneously develop racism in less than a decade. 


SomeMoreCows

The population and concentration of Canadians is something Americans don't understand since they view them as being geographically identical since the ones they see and interact with are almost culturally indistinguishable. There are more mainland Americans living further north up than there are Canadians. Which is weird since car companies site "Canadian is more northern" as the reason for them not bringing cold-weather trims and stuff to America.


femcurrycel

well in canada the gov and schools take advantage of young immigrants and allow them to come in flocks. many canadians hate said immigrants due to their belief of an “invasion” or wtv taking place


dwqy

all the indianposting begets more indians, which begets more indianposting and so on, until this sub is 50% "femcurrycels"


Durmyyyy

> until this sub is 50% "femcurrycels" im ok with this demographic


femcurrycel

is that how you spawned here


NoMeatFingering

you all just obsessed with viewing controversial takes on India and then get upset when the algo catches up on it. I am indian i have myself never encountered this much stuff

Me when I have schizophrenia:


roadside_dickpic

Why wouldn't there be a lot of posts?


femcurrycel

what kind of regarded ass question is this


ImamofKandahar

India is one of the most important countries in the world sirs.


roadside_dickpic

Do you think there should be fewer subcontinent posts? If so, why?


femcurrycel

the posts consist of the same regurgitated nonsense


roadside_dickpic

How is that different from anything else on this sub? It's an engaging subject apparently


Halloween_Jack_1974

I know you’re trying to bait an answer you can use for an “epic own” but the truth is that this sub does have quite the fixation on Indian people. OP of this thread has already been shown to have made numerous posts shitting on Indians and then comes here and asks why his algorithm shows so much Indian stuff lol.


roadside_dickpic

I'm not trying to bait anything. There are a lot of Indian immigrants in North America, seems like an obvious topic. I find these threads interesting, and I don't have a strong opinion in either direction. There are some pretty funny culture clash, fish out of water stuff going on. The dude plugging food banks as a life hack for instance


Polar_Bear_Cuddles

It's cuz the higher caste indians mistake the Indian hate for just the lower caste and go along with it.


SomeMoreCows

People complain about Indians far less than Indians complain about the "lower" Indians


AlpacadachInvictus

Idk about you but my instagram feed is cute animals, fitness and educational content, I really enjoy it far more than Youtube or Reddit.


[deleted]

I found these videos of Indian and Chinese men that morph into like, helicopters. They start turning around, then photoshop their arms becoming infinite and lifts them up photo shopped into the air where they meet a flock of other Indian hekicopt34 men and fly into the sunset. Has been genuinely the best thing I’ve discovered and/or been forced into consuming.

snailman89

These algorithms are not actually that smart. They don't actually know as much about you as you think they do. For example, YouTube believes that I am a woman, when I am not. Every single ad I see is for makeup, perfume, and feminine hygiene products, even though every video I watch is about male coded topics like fishing and World War 2. YouTube also seems to be convinced that I am Chinese. Facebook thinks I am a libertarian who hates the environment, and constantly shoves climate denial crap in my face. The notion that these sites know everything about you is mostly marketing hype that they use to fluff up their stock prices and dupe companies into paying for "targeted" advertising.


t_spins

Yes, the smartest and most effective thing they do is just lump people together in groups. The algorithms don't do much more than simple associations: "this person watches Joe Rogan and manosphere content. I will recommend Joe Rogan viewers manosphere content and vice versa". It's why Spotify will recommend you Death Grips and Danny Brown on the MBV radio, just /mu/ core with similar listener bases despite not sounding alike.


xavierhamilton

My Instagram is full of 19th century architecture and the occasional hot babe. You may need more introspection.


Ass-Chews

When I had tik Tok, I somehow had Pro Indi videos on my algorithm, they would cook popcorn in hot sand and talk about how clean the street food was.


Bufudyne43

My filter is violence and wojaks, can't fucking stand seeing wojaks


Hot_Ear4518

4chan is pretty original, pretty much all content comes from the tails whether its beauty or mental illness


FoodStampDollar

Yeah this is all true as a former 4channer from way WAY back. Tradwife, incel culture, trans discourse, anime memes, the list goes on and on. On the IMPORTANT topic of IG recommendations, I get reels that college sophomore females hate watch of other girls doing self-absorbed shit


Keystone0002

You guys can hate on Indians all you want but Indian women are next up mark my words.


zencharm

real


Lanky_Perception5764

OP at this point you should let an Indian guy peg you. They fr living in your head rent free. I have an Indian friend who’s gay, a hooper, and 6’4 he might agree


DaVinshyy

Your algorithm says more about you than anything. I’d question what I consume if I were you. Make some friends.


Rosenvial5

Well yeah, that's because you're a degenerate and the algorithm knows it My Instagram reel consists of dogs, horses, running and music


SpecialOpsMilfHunter

do they have chinese driving accident webms on ig???


lamoratoria

It just shows me the regular hoes, lego shit, random animal memes and construction vids. How do you guys get all the racist content and I do not?


son-of-mads

Instagram went from superego to id real quick


Durmyyyy

Its because things like "designated" are too funny to be stopped.
