i think the algorithm is psyopping me
spotify keeps recommending songs my ex liked
netflix knows i’m sad before i do
instagram showed me an ad for a couch i looked at in a store. with my eyes. not my phone
we’re cooked
the algorithm has watched you for ten years and still recommends the same five things
your friend with similar taste recs you something new every time you see them
we got the technology backwards
spotify, netflix, tiktok, instagram all run the same playbook:
show you what kept you scrolling yesterday
nobody’s recommending what you’d actually love. just what you’ll tolerate
the death of taste was always going to be an optimization problem
spurs were down 3-2 and just won game 6 by 27 in okc
nobody predicted that. nobody predicts anything anymore
except my weird dot net taste twin who somehow nailed my last 4 watchlist adds
let her predict tonight too
mister rogers just won a usps stamp contest by a landslide and is being reissued
proof that community ratings beat algorithms every time
we built https://t.co/Y0nuCDqbau on the same idea — what people actually love, not what an algorithm pushes
