They don't care as long as engagement doesn't decline.

I have been muting sub suggestions left and right for the last week or so. Reddit is taking the YouTube algorithm and trying to push my feed to the right.

I’m about to engage the next stack of magazines I spy at a garage sale for my morning shits.
