Your Personal Algorithm: The Power of Attention
I've been thinking about algorithms and how they relate to our personal lives. You know - how the stuff you don't even like keeps popping up in your life even though you never asked for it? Look at social media for example: You pause on something. You read the comments. You argue with it. You hate-watch it. You share it just to make a point, and the algorithm goes: "Ah, they're into this. Let's show them more." So it does. And then we go, "See! I knew it. This is everywhere!"
