Comment on Are humans really so predictable that algorithms can easily see thru us, or does continuous use of algorithm feeds make us predictable to their results?

We are, but only the truly simple minded can be thoroughly swayed and changed into an antisocial beast of propaganda, tasked with toil and consumption. Also, there’s no need to vilify “the algorithms” or their results… there’s nothing wrong with YouTube recommending me a Japanese “Careless Whisper” cover from the 80s, based on my previous input. 😅

oh you are so mistaken. propaganda, which is essentially advertisement for political stances, takes a toll on us all. you just don’t notice it because modern propaganda is targeted towards the subconscious more than towards the conscious, as many people have poorer defenses around their subconsciousness than around their consciousness.
