It seems like a lot of your issues with the major platforms are from years ago?

Instagram and X never show me political topics or hype-related things because I am quick to enter related keywords into the filtering mechanisms.

Instagram can sometimes try to force through things but in general my feed has been pretty clean to the extent that rather than showing me random garbage it'll just say I've reached the end of the latest posts from people I follow. Besides, most people I want to keep up with these days post more often to stories. If anything the issue with stories is more frequent ads/sponsored posts but those are different from just recommendation junk.
