-are you getting ads/shorts/brainrot shoved in face every single second?

No, but I don't get that elsewhere either. You may need to update your adblocker. Or install more than one (one for web stuff and sponsorblock to get YTers doing their own ad reads).

I think we define the list differently.

There is a difference between let’s say ads and shorts (which are indeed blockable to a certain level). But then there’s the brainrot. Which to me envelopes a bigger problem.

On fb for example to me this was promotion of influencers, meme pages, … patronising stuff that annoys me endlessly.

I don’t think you can steer Facebook in a way that they don’t display certain content you don’t want. In fact I’ve has the opposite happen a few times.

“Oh you’re trying to tell the algo you want less of this content? How about some more, twice as much?”.

At that point I’m done with the platform, no thx. And just in general, I’m throwing away as much big tech accounts as I can and it feels like a relief, good riddance.
