"Just about everything you see in your social media feeds these days is governed by algorithms. Think of them as the digital rules and intelligence that social media companies use to deliver a steady stream of interesting content to your eyeballs. They're invisible conductors that note everything you like, click, share, or comment on and use that information to serve up more content you're likely to engage with."
"Algorithms are far from perfect, though. Sometimes they pick up the wrong signals and start stuffing your feed with things you don't care about (or outright hate). If you find yourself increasingly uninterested in the posts you see in your feed, it's often possible to reset those algorithms. Doing it correctly can completely change what your social networks show when you log in."

Habitual flagging and cleaning history reshape future suggestions.
