Is this normal for snap? Is it because the algorithm knows that I am a upper 30s man and it just assumes we want to be fed with porn and funny videos? What are you experiences of snap? What is snap showing to women? Snaps feels like a distinctly sexual app, not to mention that it encourages very very unrealistic standards, some women there don’t even look real, like they are using some filter or something. Duh, I’m sorry if this feels rude but obviously the algorithm sees men allocating their attention to ““porn like”” content and will therefore serve that to these demographics. And the fact that women receive them too in my opinion doesn’t invalidate that either. The other aspect of it is that easily influencable kids will look around and think being this sexually suggestive is just the norm and will think “why shouldn’t I do it too ?”. I know I have male friends that are on Instagram solely and admittedly just for this “softcore porn” content and when I tried the app myself it was clearly pushing me toward that too. Since I was not interested I uninstalled but I have no doubt that if you are a man these algorithm will go out of there way to push porn like content and at the other end will encourage inadvertently the content creators to go for that type of content.

    That’s not rude to say, I believe that myself. But with a dataset of one data point I couldn’t be sure…
