The algorithm wants you angry.
Ever feel exhausted after scrolling? You’re not alone. The old news rule "if it bleeds, it leads" has officially taken over our social media feeds.
How it works:
The Bait: Algorithms amplify outrage, fear, anger, and drama.
The Reward: Negative posts get more clicks and comments.
The Trap: We stay online longer, and platforms make more money.
This cycle drives polarization, spreads misinformation, and drains our mental health.
But we have the power to change the narrative.
Break the cycle by intentionally seeking out and engaging with the good stuff. Like, comment on, and share content that inspires, educates, or brings genuine joy.
Let’s build a positive feed right here! Drop a comment sharing one good thing that happened to you this week, or tag a creator who always posts uplifting content. ✨️
