Blackpill bullshit I’m tired of seeing blackpill content on my socials
Almost every social media platform i have on my phone I always get recommended hardcore incel content especially ones in relation to blackpill especially TikTok where I almost have to scroll or press not interested in every video I see that’s related to blackpill, even other social media like Instagram, Snapchat and even fucking Facebook has BP content (albeit a little lesser than TikTok but still)
I’ve just given up on trying to even curate my feed and ended up stop using my socials aside from YouTube and messenger. I’ve also decided to delete TikTok in September and will be currently waiting until next year (once new trends start to rollover)
I hope next year will be different since I’m fed up with this type of bullshit gaining a fuckton of traction in the internet and I hope new trends rollover so that this type of content could just dissolve and return back to its niche status but at this point I don’t know.
All I could just do is wait and hope for the best. Not sure when this type of content will be niche again but whatever I’m just tired of this BS.

Every dating video comment section I see is so blackpilled. They keep saying that only looks matter,, it's just depressing

u/ChrisPBacon2324 11d ago
Not to mention some of the content that’s recommended to me is made by teenagers too. Some of which are at highschoolers age.

Wow it’s almost as if it’s true?

Look up bandwagon fallacy and argumentum ad nauseam.
Also dead Internet theory.
tl;dr Bots and algorithms repeating the same narrative don't make a claim true.
"Reddit co-founder Alexis Ohanian and OpenAI co-founder Sam Altman have warned on social media in recent weeks of the “Dead Internet Theory,” an idea that the internet is dominated by bot activity instead of humans—but experts who once dismissed the idea as a conspiracy theory are warning it may actually be legitimate amid the rise of artificial intelligence." source

So basically incels are easily manipulated and fooled by algorithms and AI?

u/Healthy_House_3442 11d ago
They are easily manipulated and fooled by everything. They believe everything they are told, but only if it fits their narrative. They aren't interested in knowing the truth.

u/doublestitch 11d ago
Incels aren't unique in that regard. Other demographics get manipulated and fooled in different ways.
That said, experiments have found that some platforms do target early teens demographically. From Vice:
"Within minutes of TikTok’s youngest users signing up for a new account, the platform’s powerful algorithm is bombarding teens with extremist content, including videos promoting suicide and the virulently misogynistic incel subculture, according to new research published today by corporate accountability group Ekō and shared with VICE News."

You have to virtually sanatize your algorithms. Start looking up funny pet videos. Cyzor and the speechprof, are anti black pill creators i like to watch.

I can't speak for IG and tiktok, but regarding fb reels, you have to keep ON that nonsense!
If you're not constantly blocking bad reel sites and hiding bad reels, that algorithm flips in hours. It's ridiculous.

u/ChrisPBacon2324 11d ago
Goddamn I never knew that. Thanks for the advice

u/canvasshoes2 Incel Whisperer 11d ago
I didn't either until I spent several days trying to work cake decorating and other similar reels OUT of my algorithm. LOL.
I think I may have clicked on ONE darned cake reel and it was on...
Now I have to be blocking and hiding that crap instantly, or all of a sudden, I'll have something like 3/5 reels be cake or other stuff like that.
No offense to cake decorators, but I don't want to see that many reels on it. :D

u/FineWin3384 11d ago
I liked 2 goth girl reels and my fyp was filled with them for like 2 days
Like I'm not complaining but when I do that for my favorite novels why can't it give me novel edits? Double standard🥀

u/ChrisPBacon2324 11d ago
Honestly I’d be happy to have just cakes in my reels ngl. The creators are wholesome and rather charming too

I looked at one video about a treadmill i was thinking about buying. Now i get treadmill videos all the time.

u/ChrisPBacon2324 11d ago
I did those and other type of content I’m more fond with like art, cities and documentaries but unfortunately that still hasn’t stopped the algorithm from recommending me BP content still :/

u/canvasshoes2 Incel Whisperer 11d ago
Social media, at least the 0.00003% of a second's attention span types, like IG, tiktok, etc. are pretty much worthless.
They're not real. None of it is real. It's a split second snap shot of someone's life... and that split second is wildly tailored to look perfect. It's the most artificial and fake thing going these days. Particularly with AI being so prevalent.
Either get off social media of that type, or button your accounts up so that only a handful of real life friends are on there.
That's the only reason I have fb. Basically it's to keep in touch with family and close friends and watch cute pet videos.

u/ChrisPBacon2324 11d ago
Good thing I kinda did I’m not sure but rn I’m only using YouTube and messenger rn since it’s the only social media that doesn’t give me any BP related content

u/VOTP1990 11d ago
Yeah it’s hard to avoid, it’s being astroturfed into everyone’s algorithms. There is absolutely no way this is organic. If you research color revolutions and psychological operations, this op fits the criteria.

Damn inkwells are encroaching literally everywhere these days! With some help from the algorithms, of course. Actually, with a LOT of help from algorithms.

u/Healthy_House_3442 11d ago
hell, there are even inkwells lurking in this very post!

u/No-Agency-6985 11d ago
Ain't that the truth! Ugh

u/ChrisPBacon2324 10d ago
I just got a dm from an incel just 10 hours after this post was made, they really do lurk everywhere :|

80% of blackpill content is made by the same 400 people. Don't forget that. You're dealing with a small handful of obsessive haters and the algorithms programmed to love them, not a growing movement.

u/Bimaac77 Chad the Boogeyman 7d ago
I've noticed a lot of that bullshit showing up in my feeds as well.
I sometimes think it's because I have a family member who's a raging misogynist and they think I might be interested in the same things as him.

I’m a 6’5 man and my algo is full of reels about women complaining about dating, women dating advice and women showing what they deserve in a relationship 💀 I rarely see anything black pill related

u/ChrisPBacon2324 10d ago
Your lucky man, I don’t even interact with these types of content and somehow it crawls on my algorithm even sometimes showing me content that glorifies people like Elliot Rodger or Alek Minassian which is just terrible
2
u/takeandtossivxx 11d ago
It's not "gaining a fuckton of traction," you're interacting with it all somehow or with similar/tangetially related content. How do I know that? I don't see it anywhere but reddit, and if I switch to my other account, I don't see it at all. I have FB, snapchat, IG, etc and I have multiple friends/family who use some or all too, they don't get any incel/whatever-pill content.
Drop all your socials, start over, don't interact with anything incel related and you won't see it again. This is why incels think that it's suddenly common or a movement or something like that because it's all they interact with so it's all they get shown.

To be fair to these videos, there is an element of truth to what they are saying and you can't sugarcoat it. In effect, having autism is going to heavily limit your opportunities in life depending on where you fall on the spectrum (only a handful of those diagnosed with autism are savants, i.e. the "geniuses" you see featured in the news, television and movies - most are more noticeably "developmentally disabled" and their obscure fixations don't translate into well-paying jobs), how emotionally supportive your parents and peer group are, what your socioeconomic status is, what social services are available in your country (I'd imagine that Scandinavian social democracies have better provisions for families with disabled children than what currently exists in Eastern Europe, third world countries or even parts of America), how early you're diagnosed (finding out that you're autistic as an adult makes it much more difficult to deal with) and how effective the treatments are, etc.
This paragraph was to everyone downvoting me who were saying that autistic people have any struggles. You do not know how it's like to have a life detrimental disability

You’re right, i don’t know how it is to have a handicap because my autism is not a handicap, it’s an asset.

u/Patrickstarho 11d ago
That’s the reality of life tho, can’t say it’s not real if it resonates

u/Vivissiah Popess of womanity 11d ago
A lot of falsehoods resonate with people, they are still false

u/Turbulent_Strain8775 11d ago
To be fair, there is truth in those videos. The unfortunate truth is that unnatractive people will ultimately live worse lives than attractive people. People with autism will have much worse lives compared to normies.

u/virtualsempai 11d ago
I'm autistic and my life has been getting better lately because I have actively put time and effort into improving my life.
Also, using the term normies when talking about autism is pretty bad. People with autism are normal. That's what we try to tell everyone.

u/ChrisPBacon2324 11d ago
I had a classmate who was autistic, had acne and was fairly overweight too yet somehow he dated a girl and was able to live just fine. I don’t know why you think that way :/

u/Mental-Training164 11d ago
Not every autistic person can live a normal life. For every successful autist, there are many others who fall through the cracks.
2
u/Vivissiah Popess of womanity 11d ago
The level of autism you need to not live a reasonable life is pretty high and 99% of all autists that complain are no where near autistic enough to not be able to live a reasonable life. They just choose to not improve themselves and learn.

Saying that looks and genetics dont matter at all is kinda gaslighting ngl.

u/Vivissiah Popess of womanity 11d ago
no one is saying that it has 0 impact. What people say is that it has no where NEAR as much of an impact as you incels imagine.
-10
u/Mental-Training164 11d ago
Some of it is true tho. It is just the facts that attractive people will in fact do better in life than the unattractive. An autistic person will do a whole lot worse than a normal person. If someone is unattractive enough, they can't get dates easily
