One result of pushiness in Facebook that I've observed is there are several sites I used to visit daily. Or rather, they'd turn up in my Inbox regularly. Suddenly, they're no longer there and I have to go hunting for them. I don't understand algorithms. (Hell, I don't even understand computers!) But I'm certain they're nefarious!
Likewise, George. I don’t fully understand them, but I know they’re mostly used to help Fuckerberg. So I’ve opted out of Meta’s algorithms as much as possible. If you’re interested, the video post I linked of two of Substack’s founders discussing algorithms might help you understand them a little better. Cuz…they’re everywhere! ;-)
I like how you balance out the fun and sane, Doug. If only I didn’t depend on so many of the platforms to source photos and help promote my work, I’d stop using them altogether. Except SS, cuz I genuinely like most of what the algorithm connects me with. YT, as you know, makes me bitch and glitch too much. lol
