To ask if you are constantly seeing WW3 things on your feed

Im constantly seeing WW3 stuff online (for example my Instagram feed, Facebook, MSN news feed on internet explorer at work.

I’m just curious as to whether everyone else sees this, or if it’s just because I clicked on something once and now the algorithm thinks I’m super interested in WW3

It'll be something you clicked on or stayed too long watching. I avoid all the wars so don't get anything war like.

Just hide them as they come, use the not interested button.They'll stop quite quickly.

Nope. Mine's all cottage core and old dogs in cardigans.

Miranda65 · 18/12/2025 10:06

No, not at all. You're obviously looking at the wrong stuff, OP!

Nope. It's all art, gym and meditation videos for me.

No I'm not, it must be your algorithm. You can train it to stop by scrolling quickly past anything like that.

I've not looked at anything about war so I don't get any, due to algorithms. I do get inundated with shit around subjects I've looked at generally.

It’s likely some algorithm following something you clicked on. I don’t see any WW3 stuff.

MatchaTea1 · 18/12/2025 09:50

It must just be your algorithm as I can’t think of any WW3 content I’ve seen..

AnneLovesGilbert · 18/12/2025 09:50

No. I mostly see recipes, craft things and animal videos.

MightyFlow · 18/12/2025 09:50

Of those three I only use IG and I'm not getting anything about war at all.

Any mention of war gives me total anxiety, so if it did pop up I'd just close the page and not really notice. But I'm avoiding any 'is there going to be a war' type threads and I'm not seeing anything similar appearing.
