> This. These services aren't toxic if you don't follow toxic accounts

Well. They do their best with recommendations and popular posts which try to lurk into your feed anyway. The whole TikTok is kinda based in that idea.

I just reported every post FB recommend to me (not from someone I’m following) as spam and blocked the user. Over time it stopped showing crap to me (at least it seems so..).
I wish my experience was similar. About a month ago, Facebook started showing really low quality, and even spammy, content as "Recommended for you".

I spent a day or two reporting every recommended post that I didn't like hoping to tell the algorithm to leave me alone. To no avail.

I still see these posts on my feed whenever I check it. And it's very bad.
