Threads hasn’t even been around a year yet, but the new kid on the block has made a name for itself with 130 million monthly users. If you’re one of ‘em, you’re probably wondering: how do I stand out from the crowd? That’s where the Threads algorithm comes in, friend. The Threads algorithm is Meta’s […]
If you believe in free will, we have terrible news — well, at least when it comes to YouTube. Because YouTube’s algorithm for recommendations drives 70% of what people watch on the platform.
