chocolate farm bellyache ??? I had this several times as a child in Trinidad. It was worth it back then David. As an adult I bet this will be less funny.
That professor’s prompts should feel ridiculous, but they’re the same muscle we use to generate trash, just flexed ‘for fun.’ And yeah, it’s exhausting to realize how much of the internet runs on ‘hold my beer’ energy. The worst part is you’re right about the mirror. I hate how many times I’ve rage watched or read some garbage just to yell about it… and now my feed’s 80% garbage.
I hate how the algo just assumes what I want because I click on something or slow down to read once. It's ridiculous really. It's like you buy a pair of pants so now you must want more so here are all the different kinds of pants you could ever need. Ugggh
We wouldn’t need many of the algorithms if we didn’t resource constrain ourselves. People follow too many people across all platforms and there are only 24 hours. But that is the same way Amazon works or Apple or Netflix. The more interaction the more it is inferring you want this. I tightly constrain who I follow , only look at stuff in reverse chronological order of who I follow. The worst two are Instagram and TikTok for those i use. I have to keep retraining Instagram but doing searches for what I’m really interested in. Long response but you are right algos’s essential simplicity. People rave to me about Amazon or Spotify’s recommendations but a one-off of one book or song is not a lifetimes love.
I’m not on IG and I have curated my feed here on SS. I’m very careful who I follow and read. I’m not interested in getting certain types of notes ect. So far so good. LI on the other hand is a hot mess. My feed is so out of control, it would take a nuclear explosion to clear it.
I haven’t really focused on LinkedIn for business so far, so I haven’t actively sought out leads there. I mainly concentrate on other ways of connecting and growing my network. It’s something I hope to explore more down the line, though.
LinkedIn is difficult. I will only use desktop browser access where I can control the feed - latest I think - and I have “silenced” about 60% of my connections in addition to dropping over 200 of them. Still get rubbish in my feed and notifications which despite giving feedback it doesn’t change. When at home I spend only 15 minutes on it as it is low value and frustrating

Happy Monday David.
I hope you are doing well.
I am. The chocolate tour was fine. Small soda casados not so good
We believe that “something called The Algorithm but it is a relatively simple process reflecting our online behaviors.

Sorry to be nosy. Just trying to figure out what I want to do for promotion and sales.
No worries - I think Paul Chaney uses it for business leads. Have you chatted with him at all?
Hopefully. Do you get much business from LinkedIn (if you don’t mind me asking)?

You are more active there so that will ramp everything up. It is frustrating
I keep plugging along David. Consistency and all that, right?? lol

Mine is so out of control, it’s like a clown car drove off to the zoo for a dance party with all the videos and junk on my feed.
