I'm personally a huge Elon fan, but I know many who are not and have heard from multiple sources that they can't get him out of their feeds no matter how hard they try. If you tweak your current idea to simply remove all Elon-related content from the feed, that would be funny but may also be strangely profitable (people would probably buy it out of spite).

#12It was much easier and healthier for me to just leave Twitter (never gonna call it the other name). In fact, I’ve left nearly all of social media. It would be nice to get away from all algorithmic content feeds. Maybe someday.
I suspect experiences using social media apps differ wildly from person to person.

Unless you meant: "people should stop using social media in which there are monetary incentives to be sensationalist", which I definitely agree on.
I would love if we had more civilized discussions on the web, we would understand eachother better that way. But it's an impossible ask.

#19I think this is a glimpse of the future. I can imagine ever-greater amounts of information overload, and AI used everywhere to filter it to manageable levels.
