Threads Releases “Dear Algo” – Because Apparently We All Need Another Bloody AI To Tell Us What We Like

So, Threads — you know, Meta’s half-baked Twitter wannabe — has decided the world just isn’t drowning in enough AI bullshit. Enter “Dear Algo,” an oh-so-clever new feature that lets you “personalize” your feed by chatting with some digital sycophant that pretends to care what you think. Because what better way to waste your life than spoon-feeding an algorithm your inner thoughts so Zuck’s data machine can sell you even more crap?

Basically, it’s a glorified filter that takes your preferences and spits back “tailored content” — meaning you’ll get served more of the same nonsense you already scroll past while pretending you’re not doomscrolling. Of course, Meta’s calling it revolutionary, as if inventing “ask the algorithm nicely” is somehow cutting-edge AI magic and not just a chatbot with a buzzword addiction. And don’t forget the privacy angle — they swear your data’s safe. Yeah, just like your last 12 passwords, right?

Long story short: Threads’ bright idea is to let you whisper sweet nothings to an algorithm hoping it’ll finally understand you. Spoiler alert — it doesn’t give a flying fuck about you, and you’ll still end up staring at influencer selfies, “relatable” memes, and sponsored garbage thinly disguised as “content.” But sure, keep feeding it your hopes and dreams, champ.

Reminds me of the time some bright spark in IT thought “automated ticket assignment” would save us time. It ended up assigning every damn network outage to the coffee machine. Just like Threads’ “Dear Algo,” it was full of enthusiasm, light, and pure unadulterated bollocks.
