The great unfollowing

Is something just off, every day?
No longer enjoying the content you consume?

Stop following everything!!

I have done it, I am on a rampage. Clearing out the dead branches and broken connections, even some that are just irrelivant. Thousands of unfriendings, not for ever, just for Facebook. I'm unfollowing hundreds of profiles and pages, and leaving hundreds of groups.

Then I moved onto Twitter, clearing out 800 Follows and removing at least 400 (bots?) following me. Today, I am unsubscribing from channela on youtube. Apparently, when I am done all this, my feeds will improve.

20 years of Subscriptions

Yet do I even enjoy watching this kind of content? Or does it fill me with anxiety and frustration! Searching for 'something good' and the algorithm just feeds me more of the same. So today I am going to try and unsubscribe from as many youtube channels as possible, keeping only the ones I know I want to see. Enough of this 'like and subscribe' nonsense! If the video is good, it should rise.

I have nothing against these channels-- but I don't want to be buried in subscriptions. Goodbye!
