Not to go full “I’m just a boy” but FUCK dude I am so tired of Snapchat IG and even fucking yikyak shoving gooner content in my face. I’m in recovery, I actively block 🌽🌟 MULTIPLE TIMES every time I open snap and they just don’t stop, it fucking sux

I wonder if putting your gender as a woman makes a difference for some of them

I go out of my way to screenshot and interact with nerdy, cars and carpentry type content to trick the algorithm but they just keep fucking pushing it and it’s borderline radicalizing

Like I’ve had to block the same creator 5 times over now that keeps showing up in my snap discover and I’m so fucking tired of it bro, like I literally can’t watch my friends stories on public w/o being paranoid that some 🌽🌟 is going to pop up on discover

They’re trying to nerf us bro, same with the fucking gambling ads. I’m starting to think we need an economic system that doesn’t incentivize this shit…

Coming from a woman who I feel like apps that ask my gender don’t do that and things that don’t know my gender do now that I’m thinking ab it, but maybe I’m reading into it

Maybe, I literally post screenshots of yikyak AI sexbot ads that pop up that yikyak is somehow able to auto-identify as explicit and self deletes

Yeah I get them on yikyak too, I remember when ads were kinda new on here it was like all I was getting and now there’s more stuff added to the rotation but still a lot of it

So it goes against community guidelines if users post it but not if advertisers share it. I guess they’re the real customers, not us. We’re just the material…

I’ve also specifically opted out of data tracking/personalization because I was worried about this exact situation, but now I’m questioning if turning it on will change the results
