Kill your feeds - Stop letting algorithms dictate how you think
Original post: Kill your Feeds - Stop letting algorithms dictate how you think
Tom Usher wrote an interesting article on limiting feeds from social networks and favoring more selected sources rather than entirely relying on what the algorithm suggests to you.
Among the suggested alternatives, here’s what Tom recommends:
- Go directly to the source (e.g., a creator profile or a YouTube channel)
- Use platform features that let you control your experience (e.g., YouTube subscriptions)
- Spread the word!
I explored related themes in my post on digital minimalism. It’s encouraging to see this growing movement toward more intentional digital consumption rather than passive algorithm-driven experiences.
