How I tricked my own feed by posting nonsense for 3 days in Austin

I kept getting served breakup content after one sad song, so I started commenting 'this is about my cactus' on every video and within 72 hours my recommendations were all plant memes, has anyone else successfully gaslit their algorithm like that?

...and honestly the cactus bit is genius, I did something similar last year but with bread. I kept getting keto content and started commenting "my sourdough hates this" on everything. Now my feed is just flour dust and proofing timers and I have no idea how baking is going but I've never been more at peace.
