Feed Poisoning

[ SLANG ][ PLATFORM ][ NOUN ]

FORCE: Machine CultureUNIVERSE: Recommendation Algorithm InternetCLUSTER: Algorithm Management

When a single interaction — watching one joke video too long, liking one weird post — permanently skews your recommendation feed toward unwanted content that's hard to shake off afterward.

REAL-WORLD EXAMPLE

"I watched one clown-core video as a joke and now it's full feed poisoning, clowns for a week straight."

LORE & ORIGIN

Named by users frustrated at how quickly and stubbornly one out-of-character interaction could 'poison' weeks of an otherwise well-tuned feed, especially on TikTok's For You Page.
