Algorithms are breaking how we think | Technology Connections

Ironically this video was autoplayed to me by youtube's algorithm.

That was a long meal. Nice that he’s calling out media on being complicit in creating current crisis. Getting reliable news is beyond reach for most people because clickbait and agenda attack you from every angle.

I find this wierd. I can't imagine spending all my time following suggested content. Sure if it already gives me things I know like a new pbs spacetime or viva la dirt league then thats convenient but heck even when it does I will often go to the channel to see if I missed anything while I fell over the thing in my feed rather than clicking from the feed. Its so bizarre to me that someone would just follow feeds. Lets face it though most people in fediverse do not do that. Sorta sad really because if facebook was just posts that originated from my friends and family I would likely look at the feed but since its filled with crap. forget it.
