🇺🇸 Election Season Over

In just a few hours, the election season will finally be over. What a relief! But regardless of who wins, I hope you made it to the polls.

I'll admit that this election cycle had me trying harder than ever to be informed. I consumed content from both sides in a quest to make a "smart" decision — my first time voting in a presidential election, after all.

However, over the last six months, my media diet took a strange turn, spiraling into a vortex of clickbait videos about the candidates. So now, I'm left wondering: how do I signal to the algorithm that I'm done with this political saga? Surely there’s a hidden option somewhere, but it got me thinking...

What If... there was a giant button to reset our algorithms? I'll bet plenty of folks would love to ditch the election content and get back to their "sleeping cat" videos. It seems like a win for everyone on social media, right?

What do you think? Did you get sucked into the political maze this election season? Ready to return to your regularly scheduled programming?

🇺🇸
