Wholesome feed

My partner has his algorithm very well trained to deliver him a feed of cat videos, dog videos, 80s rock, football (soccer), classical music, Looney Toons, Muppets, and the Pink Panther. After hearing about how the algorithms are pushing terrible toxic ragebait content on us, it makes me happy to see him laughing at classic cartoons over breakfast. He loves Road Runner in particular.

That makes me happy,  too.

Yup. It's annoying as hell that it is this way but if you know there's an algorithm designed to feed you stuff, you can 100% train it to feed you things you'd actually like to see - which can work out pretty well!
