The Algorithm Reset

How to complete The Algorithm Reset

Recommendation feeds drift toward whatever keeps you scrolling, not what you actually value. This achievement is about deliberately retraining that algorithm so your feed reflects your real interests through active signals, not passive hoping it improves.

1. Unfollow, mute, or block the accounts that consistently produce content you scroll past or regret watching
2. Use the explicit controls: 'Not interested', 'Show fewer', and hide-this-topic on every post that misses, since the algorithm weights these heavily
3. Actively engage (like, save, watch fully, comment) with the exact content you want more of so the model has clear positive signal
4. Clear or reset watch/search history if the platform allows it, to wipe stale signals
5. Curate a 'Following' or list-based feed where available and default to it over the algorithmic one

Tips

• Watch time is the strongest signal on video platforms: skipping fast teaches it faster than any button
• Give it a few days; feeds adjust gradually, and one good session won't undo months of habit
• Beware rage-bait: even hate-watching counts as engagement and feeds you more of it

What counts as done

You open the app and most of what you see is content you're genuinely glad to consume, with little urge to scroll past.
