I’ve discovered an interesting new G+ behavior.

I’ve got a Jackasses circle – It’s full of people who I’ve encountered being crappy in comment threads.  Gamergaters, Second Amendment Fundamentalists, Racists, MRAs, etc.  Once in a while I find it therapeutic and interesting to check that circle and see what the worst people on the network are spewing at each other.

I just checked that circle, and after the purgative went back to my default ‘All’ view and found a lot of those people, and more interestingly a lot of people that I find a little distasteful but not full Jackasses featured prominently in my feed.

In the past, just checking a circle didn’t affect stream content if you didn’t interact.  It seems that “appeared on your screen” might now be considered “interaction”.
