"Random" lmao

They show you exactly what their algorithm thinks gets you the most addicted and wants you to interact with the app in any way possible. Most of the time that's achieved by making you feel negative emotions

Just like Facebook or Instagram

And Twitter, Reddit, Youtube. Sadly this isn't an internet only phenomenon

Ok. Western apps do the same, but worse in my experience.

Not sure how cats are negative emotions. Put your tinfoil hat back on.

Western apps do the same

You're right about that, they're also trash

Yup. Never said they weren't.

Lemmy is so toxic lmao. Downvoting me in their little echo chamber because I pointed out that western apps are "worse" for it.
