I logged in a few months ago to deal with something with my Quest, and holy shit.

I didn't follow many people, but every post was some AI generated sexy-single-in-my-area nonsense trying to convince me that I need to call them right now for the hot sex, or something.

It was fucking bizarre and I'm utterly confused as to what in the hell is going on, since if they're showing me that shit, you know they're shoveling it at everyone too? Like, I cannot fathom why anyone would willingly put up with that shit for cat pictures or whtaever the hell boomers use it for.
