Learn how to mark gambling content as "Not Interested" and reduce harmful exposure on social media platforms

Why Mark Gambling Content as "Not Interested"?

Social media algorithms are designed to show you content that keeps you engaged. When you interact with gambling content—even negatively—the algorithm learns that you're interested in gambling topics and shows you more of it. This creates a dangerous cycle that can lead to increased gambling exposure and potential harm.

By actively marking gambling content as "Not Interested," you're teaching the algorithm what you don't want to see, helping to break this cycle.
