Last time I saw anyone in the healthcare field was a nurse who came to my house. She could find any "issues". All of her tests led to great results. She asked what medications I took daily. I told her none. And, I heal myself naturally. She was impressed. I haven't seen anyone since.
That's the kind of result that should make people stop and think. No medications, no recurring issues, a nurse who showed up and found nothing wrong. The system didn't know what to do with you because you weren't feeding it a problem to solve or a prescription to write.
That's exactly what the algorithm misses. It's built to track symptoms, suggest products, and keep you engaged with your own anxiety. Someone who heals themselves naturally and walks away healthy doesn't generate clicks, conversions, or return visits. You're unprofitable, and that's honestly the highest compliment the current system can give someone.
Thanks for sharing this. More people need to hear that clean results are possible.
they're going to have a difficult time gaining any advantage from tracking my "health" related searches. and my medical records are nearly nonexistent except for a very few incidents (less than I can count on both hands) over the last 50 years.
if they DO try selling me anything based on my search history, I don't think I'd mind being offered additional sources to buy live plants and seeds. I don't buy supplements anymore after learning about how most are produced by some insane BetterLivingThruChemistry™ processes rather than made of plant parts and simple plant extractions
This is such a good example of “playing the game without letting the game play you.” You’ve basically starved the system of the two things it understands best: a long medical paper trail and a steady stream of fear‑based clicks.
What you said about supplements is important too. Once you see how many “health” products are built on the same BetterLivingThruChemistry™ mindset as the stuff you’re trying to avoid, it changes how you read every ad and “miracle” claim. Live plants, seeds, growing your own inputs — all of that quietly takes power away from the recommendation engine because you’re no longer outsourcing your health to whatever landed on page one of your search.
The algorithm is not “random.”
It is quietly building the version of you it can predict, sell to, and keep scrolling.
This piece is for the people who feel like they’re waking up in the middle of that process and do not like who the feed is turning them into.
If you read it, I’d love to hear: what did the algorithm train you to crave that you’re now trying to walk back?
Drop it in the comments so other people can see they’re not the only ones catching this.
