I fucked up my algo watching animal grooming and cute cat videos. Funny enough something I like to watch because it's soothing has turned into something that ruins my day.

Kind of fucked that people are using animal abuse for clicks.

      I was gunna comment this too, it’s becoming a real serious problem. These disgusting people saw how lucrative these animal rescue videos have become and have started intentionally putting these animals (usually young puppies and kittens) in danger and hurting them only to act like they’re “saving” them. It’s so horrific.

      I mean, people have done this with their own kids. Not that it makes either situation better, just unsurprising.
