The algo must have changed

Context: "Wow, Karl! You made some new friends 😬 / Fr though, what’s going on with the algorithm lately? I don’t post anything but all my friends posts get brigaded in the comments by random idiots…are we influencers now?"

The algo must have changed in the last month or so.

Before that, my anti-Trump posts got a few Likes from my friends.

These days, I'm getting dozens, sometimes hundreds, of responses from strangers, along with comments. I don't read comments from strangers, by the way. I dislike insults, and I don't care to dig through insults looking for praise, so I keeping on truckin' and never look back.}
