      Absolutely. I wonder if this mentality will come back here in some places eventually…

          Perhaps, hoping in the future we will have better tools to prevent it or curate feeds better to suit a user’s liking.

            And your awareness of something doesn’t make it poor quality or inappropriate, if you often think with such a self centered mindset, you’re liable to drive yourself crazy on a place that cares as little as the internet long before you convince it to change
