lol I bet any social app creator wouldn't ever be prepared for that feedback. "Hating the algorithm is fine, but you want no algorithm?..."

Haha I don't mind wanting to see new stuff but it needs to be in its own tab and not forced into my face when it's least irrelevant (like when scrolling through my following content). Have you ever searched for something on YouTube nowadays? It gives you like 6 videos relevant to your search then it gives you random ones under a "for you" banner. Then it gives you like two videos relevant to your search then more random videos under "people also watched". Then it gives you two relevant videos inbetween a horizontal series of random YouTube shorts for the rest of the results. Literally half of your search results are random videos you didn't even search for, or want in that moment because you searched for something specific. It's awful, and YouTube already recommends you alot of videos on there homepage. So you have to wonder why they're even bothering to fuck up the search results so badly.
