Every streaming service has the same 'Because you watched' algorithm and it is always 'because you watched stress'

I watched one episode of a true crime doc in a moment of weakness. Now every service thinks I want to see murder during breakfast. I do not. I want to see cupcakes. Algorithm, please.

I watched 'The Great British Bake Off' once and Netflix thinks I am a middle-aged British woman. I am. But that is not the point.

My 'Continue Watching' row has 14 things I started during existential crises. I cannot delete them because they are part of my history. Like scars.

Hulu thinks I want to watch '90 Day Fiance' because I watched a documentary about prison. The connection is offensive and I am watching episode 3.
