That’s been standard practice for many industries for decades. Fast food, junk food and soft drinks being the most obvious. Tobacco and alcohol products have had to become more covert. And don’t get me started on the porn industry…
When I’m scrolling IG, sometimes I see violence, fights, etc. I’m most definitely not someone who likes to watch this stuff, yet I get random reels sometimes showing me this category.
It makes me question what kind of things a 10 year old is encountering.
For fast food, a responsible parent can quite easily control it. So can smoking.
10yro doesn’t know their a$$ from their elbow. They go looking for w#atEver’s and once that’s in their feed, there is no reset to that body of preferences.
Side note, I was shocked the other day when one of my Claude sessions brought up context from an unrelated chat.
Well, it’s not the scrolling, it’s the clicking. Isn’t it?
It's still really bad and maybe this will start a precedent that can be used to disincentivize this practice more broadly.
