Different containment strategies trade convenience against functionality. The table below outlines how each method alters interface usability, data collection, and visual tag frequency.
| Cleanup Method | Visual Clutter Impact | Scope & Persistence | Interaction Trade-Off |
|---|---|---|---|
| Clear Display Mode | 100% hidden (complete UI wipe) | Per-session; resets when app is closed | Hides comments, creator names, and captions |
| Ad Personalization Off | 40%, 60% reduction in commercial tags | Permanent across account | None; normal browsing remains unchanged |
| Keyword Filtering | 70%, 80% reduction on tagged posts | Permanent across FYP & Following | May accidentally hide non-commercial creator hauls |
| FYP Algorithm Refresh | Temporarily resets shopping weight | Lasts 1, 3 weeks before retraining | Resets niche entertainment preferences to default |
