For the last few years, I\u2019ve chosen one weekend day a year to undertake what I\u2019ve come to call a Feeds Reboot. I try to systematically go through every subscription, every follow, every algorithmically or chronologically generated thing<\/a> I see on social platforms, streaming services, and news apps, and reset or at least review the way it works. I can\u2019t recommend this enough.<\/p>\n

Every time I do a Feeds Reboot, I notice a huge uptick in how interesting and relevant I suddenly find the internet. Does it then spend the next 364 days slowly degrading back into a morass<\/a> from which I will try and extricate myself next year? Yep! But I\u2019m still making progress.<\/p>\n

The point of a Feeds Reboot is to be more intentional about the internet. It\u2019s not the same as a privacy audit, which is also a good thing to do every year; rather, it\u2019s a way to change what you see online. Odds are, some of what\u2019s in your feeds \u2014 the creators on YouTube, the out-there old friends on Facebook, the inescapable dance crazes on your TikTok For You page \u2014 is the result of something you commented on, liked, or just happened to watch many months or years ago. The reboot gives you a chance to start fresh, to declare to the internet that you are no longer the person you once were, and to take more control over the algorithms that run so much of your life.<\/p>\n

My process has gotten more complicated over time and now includes three steps: the Following Audit, the Mass Archive, and a more complicated step I\u2019ve come to call the Feeds Reboot Pro Max. <\/p>\n

The Following Audit is tedious but really simple: just assess everything you follow everywhere. Go through your following list on Twitter, TikTok, and Instagram, look at all the sources you follow on RSS, check all your Discord memberships, look at all the newsletters you get, scroll through your podcast subscriptions, and check all the bands you follow on Spotify to make sure you still care. Don\u2019t worry about adding better stuff since that tends to happen naturally over time. Just delete everything you don\u2019t want, and make sure you\u2019re only signed up for stuff you actually care about. <\/p>\n
