Reply to comment by LordOfTheDerp in First Citizens Bank to purchase assets of Silicon Valley Bank by Substantial-Pass-992

How do you think they’re going to get a higher interest rate for you? This is practically free money. Not only do they get 16.5b in arbitrage if they can maintain depositor liquidity, but the latter is extremely easy now that the fed is offering collateralized loans for federal bond assets at cost.

>Today I logged on to Twitter and I saw two Tweets from fucking Catturd and a bunch from Andrew Tate. Do I follow them? FUCK NO. Elon is a fascist prick, and I hope it all burns to the ground.

Social Media websites use tracking cookies to analyze and match your trends.

Considering so much of your post history on reddit involves politics, are you absolutely sure that you aren't triggering Twitter's algorithms? Are you sure you are not looking at posts involving politics, or watching youtubers involving politics? Eg. Watching drama youtubers who cover figures like Tate and do "takedown" videos on them? Likewise, are you engaging with users who follow or mention Tate? Because that could be why you are seeing it.

Please answer the question. I am not asking in bad faith, I am not concern trolling, I'm not saying this to contribute to the "culture war". It's not a defense of Elon either. No, this isn't to "poison the well", nor' am I "making the dreamworks face", as some youtubers would put it. (However it is annoying I must clarify all those points.)

I'm simply asking this as a legitimate question about how the algorithm works? Is the reason you are seeing Tate not because you keep engaging with that kind of content?

Are other users here having this same issue, even those who do not engage with political content?

Reply to comment by RespectedPath in President Biden's nominee to head the FAA has withdrawn after Republican criticism by Panaka

After watching that youtube clip of his 'interview,' good riddance! That guy is wholly and completely unprepared/capable for that position. My question, how the heck was his name even put into the hat, and how did he get ram-rodded this far?

Have we seriously gotten so far off track that people would have been willing to support this guy just because he was a Democrat appointment?

That doesn't make sense at all. You can know things on an academic level, but you will never know exactly what something feels like. I'm a woman and I know it hurts to be kicked in the balls but I don't know exactly what it feels like, likewise a man won't know exactly what having a period or giving birth feels like.

However some of us have empathy, but you clearly don't because you can't even imagine how it feels to have rising hate and calls for death and violence towards you because of a certain characteristic outside of your control.

I think it's well established that his personally driven changes have been horrific for the platform. That's not some conspiracy nonsense, that's cold hard fact.

He's made himself the platform, therefore it is his fault.

Advertisers have list confidence and it's generally regarded as a laughing stock. They'll be teaching this as a cautionary tale in buisness schools for decades.
