Video "Addiction"

One time I was tricked by the FB algorithm to watch a wildlife movie like a lion hunting down a giraffe for the kill.

Another time I was tricked by the FB algorithm to watch a puppy rescue movie like a puppy stuck in the mud and rescued by a passerby.

So now my feed is full of killers and rescuers. I always root for the deer to get untangled from the trap or the puppy to get out of the hole in the ice but sometimes I have to admit I root for the lion to kill the hyena while other times the lion is the bad guy.

Twisted.

PS I found that totally ignoring the videos and just scrolling by them doesn't affect the algorithm one iota.

PSS When FB first came out, it tricked me into looking at a video of a beautiful woman and I got stuck in the BayWatch running woman type videos. I'm older now so sometimes I'm not sure if the cute elephant trying to get out of the mud or cute hot tub party girls is more interesting.

    Tell me about it. I once got tricked into opening one of Mark's threads, and now I can't get away from robot vacuum cleaners, drum kits and cut-price furniture ads.

    Try unhearin' the buzz of Rifflepops' beard trimmin' routine.

    An' who can unsmell the Whitacre "Doom Vacuum" pitch that ends with smoke bustin' outta the stooge hoovah in sync with the masterful delivery of the line: is this nightmare really what you want to take you by surprise in your own living room?

    Untaste one of my carbonized pizzas? You nevah will.

    Unfeel the wrench-sized mandibles of a genetically enhanced Whatto Oz spidah as it clamps hard on your most sensitive areah, inspired into frenzy by 200 decibel AC/DC guitar stuffs plugged direct to its stoopid arachnoid braino?

    Tellya, in a world packin' trooly exotic sensibility, seein' is only one fifth of believin'.
