    AI quite frustrating especially on YouTube. but at the same time, you can use AI to curate your for your page and to filter out content you’re not interested in on Instagram and my usage dropped significantly with that feature. I feel happier.

    Algorithms made me really sensitive to what I search so I use alt accounts. If I search one thing once it floods me with that.

    On YouTube there’s lots of repost videos, it will be 30 seconds of generic movie scene then an annoying edit of [No Batidão](https://youtu.be/GXioir-fujY?si=Hwm3QGM-LOPgl6xI)

    I’ve been growing accounts (I run a hair business, one of them is a travel/food account) and you have to multiple reels a day and be consistent. Sometimes you have to use attention grabbing, big text titles to tell what your vid is or they only watch 2-3 seconds.

    Zara Larsson made a comeback she was popular in 2016, lots of new singers. There’s also AI music
