"Threads, Meta's X-like social network, rolled out a feature that lets users tell the app's algorithm what they want to see more or less of in their feed. The feature, called Dear Algo, works like this: you write a public Threads post starting with "Dear Algo," followed by a request, such as asking to see less about a TV show you're not caught up on yet, for instance, or more about your favorite basketball team during a live game."
""We think we can do a better job by going deep with individuals on what they want to see more and less of," said Connor Hayes, Meta's head of Threads. In a blog post about the announcement, Meta described Dear Algo as "an AI-powered feature that gives you more control over what you see by letting you tell Threads what's important to you in the moment." Hayes also said that Threads will reject queries that don't meet Meta's recommendation guidelines or content principles."
Meta launched Dear Algo on Threads to let users tell the app what they want to see more or less of in their feeds. Users post a public message beginning with "Dear Algo" describing the request, and the algorithm adjusts the feed for three days. Users can delete their requests or repost others' requests to adopt their preferences. Threads will reject queries that violate recommendation guidelines or content principles. Dear Algo aims to increase individualized personalization and give users agency amid concerns about echo chambers, rage bait, and doomscrolling.
