I do agree a "I'm watching this but I regretted it" would be a useful button, if the companies respected it. But my default presumption is that the already know this, and don't care, and that baiting engagement / addiction is at the very least "views" and possibly a deliberate strategy.
I think we need to start building intermediary feeds for all of our services (presumably via AI or something) that lets us customize how much we get of each type of content (e.g. no more than 5% about bad the economy is, no more than 5% about a new AI trick, 0% about 'drama of the day', 40% educational)
