Speaking of frogs

It is Wednesday my dudes 🐸

This happened to me IRL. As a kid one of my relatives heard I liked frogs. Every birthday, Christmas, etc., frogs. For years.

Long ago, I remember being so impressed by Netflix's algorithm. It used to know me so well, I was astounded. Recommendations were spot-on for my tastes, and I could trust it would pick things I'd actually enjoy.

But then something changed. I don't really know what, though I think it's fair to assume "corporate meddling" was the root reason, no matter what the exact change was. It all fell apart. Recommendations stopped making sense. It felt like someone smart was losing their mind and there was nothing I could do about it.

I've long since stopped using Netflix (or any other streaming service.🏴‍☠️) It's almost hard to believe how good it used to be. Just as Google used to actually be a useful search engine, it's so clear that these companies reached a peak, then started going downhill.

I DO want more frogtent. I love the little guys so much and need as many videos of them as I get kitties

Oh? You purchased a steam cleaner back in 2002? Well, here's steam cleaner recommendations for the next 14 years, just in case you're collecting them like infinity stones...

I’d be okay with that honestly, better than ads ¯\(ツ)/¯

plz giv mor frog thx

"Do you like that on your face?"

oh fuck yeah gimme the frogs

A "sneeze attack" 😏

Where frog

Basically the reason I dont use algorithm based sites, I dont know why but it annoys me. It's the main reason I stopped using Instagram years ago when they stopped using chronological order. It basically killed engagement with people I knew and killed the reason I used it

More frogs good

Oh yeah, the algorithm knows what's best for me.

I love it when I watch one video debunking some conspiracy theory only to get flooded by conspiracy theory crazies' videos (though I guess it makes blocking them convenient).

Two things.

First: frogs are cool. I want more of them.

Second: I'll have you all notice that, while wenesday comes once every week, there isn't to my knowledge a single frog-dedicated community in the whole threadiverse.
I've tried to make one once but after only two posts and a few hours it show signs of becoming popular and I chicken of it in the fear of having to moderate.

Last night I watched a Method Man interview and suddenly got recommended a ton more and was worried this is how I find out he’d died.

ferg vs froge

Yeah, I would actually

This happens when someone else gives me a link to content outside the feed. Suddenly experimental ska is all over my algo-feed.

Pretty much how me and @CafeFrog@lemmy.cafe became friends <3
