A new 'Debug' button near feed settings on desktop, or a small arrow on mobile, reveals the exact reason behind every card with actions to see more or less of it. A 'Why am I seeing this?' option in the three-dot menu does the same for a single post. Plus members can set exact boost levels for topics, sources and creators, including temporary changes that apply for a limited time, like lowering the rank of a trending drama topic for a week. ## Content Ever looked at a post in For You and thought "why is this here?"? Now you can see exactly why, and change it right there. daily dev is the only platform that gives you full control over your For You feed. ## Debug mode On desktop there is a new "Debug" button near the feed settings, and on mobile you have to hit this small arrow on the For You tab (yes, I know, we didn't have a better place, still working on that)   Flip the Debug switch and you'll see the exact reason you see every card on your feed with immediate actions you can apply to see more or less of it.  ## What's off box Instead of taking time to configure and understand all the bits and pieces, you can simply tell the box what's off with your feed and it will suggest you several actions and how to configure your feed to make it better. ## Why am I seeing this post? Sometimes you don't need entire debugger, you want to see just one post and understand why are you seeing it. Hit the three dots menu -> "Why am I seeing this?" and fix it. ## ✧ Extra perks Plus members can set the exact boost level for topics, sources, and creators. Not only that, they can apply changes for a limited time. For example, if there's a new drama, you can temporarily lower the rank of that topics so after a week everything goes to normal without managing it whatsoever. ## Take the power back Your feed learns from what you read, but you know your taste better than any algorithm does. The debugger shows you how your feed thinks, and the controls let you take it from there. More of what you care about, less of what you don't, no guessing required. --- Turn on Debug, find the post that made you go "huh", and tell us in the comments what you found. And let us know what you want to control next! ## Community discussion Top comments from developers on daily.dev. **@bobbyiliev** · 0 upvotes > wow that’s awesome! > >  **@hvk500** · 0 upvotes > Very clever approach, nice work guys **@nerdalytics** · 0 upvotes > Awesome!
