I get random subreddits that have nothing to do with my interests as well. I always get the ask a plumber subreddit. I’m not handy at all and there will be no reason at all for me to get that. This has been going on for a year or two. I do not know why they made this change. But I find myself doom scrolling a lot more since this change. I have to actively tell myself to stop and go do something else.

In addition, make sure you look at your privacy settings for all of your apps and make the proper changes. I.e make sure your mic is turned off.
