Liking 10 AI videos retrained a radicalized feed back to tech content in days

@DrSingularity describes a feed experiment: after liking riot-police clips from France and the Netherlands, his recommendations were flooded for days with hundreds of street-fight and crime videos. He then searched out and liked 10 posts of games and films made with Seedance, and the feed quickly switched back to AI/tech/creator content. His takeaway: recommendation loops amplify whatever you consume — sustained crime-video feeds can radicalize people, while tech-progress feeds foster optimism, and actively steering your feed with search can break the loop.
