Does everyone see the same #TopicstoExplore in their Streams?

Does everyone see the same #TopicstoExplore in their Streams? And do yours change? I've been seeing these same suggestions for ... well, for as long as I can remember seeing this card. The thing is, I've never shown any interest in DoctorWho and very little in Machine Learning or Crowdfunding, so I'm not sure where Google+ is getting it's suggestions for me from.

I never look at the Home stream. But maybe it's showing you what some of your friends are interested in.

Nope... not even close. Here's my bizarre list (which I rarely check out):
Everything Yoga
All things Google
Blogging
Articles to Get You
Social Media Marketing
SEO

And, apparently if you complain in a post, things change. Still not sure about Machine Learning or Crowdfunding, but the rest are new.

weird, I don't recall ever seeing that in my stream. I get other recommendations, but not that particular form.

I'll make note of what shows up in my stream and paste it here to compare notes.

So, I asked Andrew Tamm, who filled my Stream with a hundred (sarcasm there) animated gifs and cat pictures to remove me from whatever Circle he has me in where he posts the animated gifs and cat pictures. It was either that or unfollow him and I didn't see any reason to unfollow him. Me asking https://plus.google.com/112885755521259735422/posts/78dwnvvgh4p <==edited to add the correct link Then he plusses me onto Public posts of animated cat gifs : https://plus.google.com/u/0/112885755521259735422/posts/EuuR1tnU3vJ https://plus.google.com/u/0/112885755521259735422/posts/8r6Grcm2Jpj https://plus.google.com/u/0/112885755521259735422/posts/74PgSu6iL2s Then one of his friends (or Circlers) starts plussing me into posts of animated cat gifs : https://plus.google.com/u/0/107120198886093172821/posts/gRW9JhWLs5T Don't get me wrong, I'm all about sarcasm and messing with people, but this seems sort of childish to me.

I'm shutting down Google+ for the night and quite possibly for the weekend. Why? This stupid #gifwars thing people are so proud of. This Adam Black guy said he doesn't like gifs and now everyone is mass trolling him. Having been mass trolled like this I can relate to him easily enough. Have an opinion and the collective might of Google+'s lower class denizens jump on a bandwagon. I just saw a post where someone wanted to jump on board and had to get clarification she was tagging the proper Adam Black. She wasn't even connected to him ! Nor was she a part of the original discussion. She just wanted to follow the herd. When I called her out of it she claimed, "one gif doesn't make a troll." Perhaps not, but she's contributing to a larger troll effort. One straw doesn't break the camel's back, but thousands will. So, tonight, Google+ disgusts me. It probably will tomorrow as well. And possibly Sunday. I gave up Google+ for two months this spring
