Meta's 'Dear Algo' Lets You Boss Around Your Threads Feed
New AI feature lets Threads users customize their algorithm by simply asking nicely in a public post.
Meta just dropped a new AI trick for Threads users who are tired of their feed showing irrelevant garbage. It's called "Dear Algo," and it works exactly like it sounds.
Want to see more posts about vintage synthesizers or fewer hot takes about crypto? Just write a public post starting with "Dear Algo" and tell it what you want. The AI reads your request and temporarily tweaks your content recommendations accordingly.
The keyword here is "temporarily." This isn't a permanent settings change—it's more like a polite suggestion to the algorithm that it may or may not honor forever.
It's a surprisingly human approach to algorithm control. Instead of diving through endless settings menus, you just... ask. Whether this becomes a genuine power-user feature or a novelty remains to be seen.
