Online power now seems to consolidate into whoever complains the loudest, and/or whomever has the most political connections. Neither of those are good. Shouldn't it be alarming to everyone that Jack Dorsey distanced himself from Bluesky? The narratives around X are almost entirely inaccurate and/or self-induced. Like all algorithms, what you engage with on X is what you see, and what you follow is what you see. My X feed is very similar to my YouTube feed, which is almost entirely tech, physics, science, health, medicine, with the occasional trashy off-topic engagement bait that I ignore. If I go onto YouTube and only engage with cat videos, soon my entire YouTube experience is going to be cat videos, even more extreme cat videos, cats doing crazy stuff, cats doing funny stuff, cats doing cute stuff. Does this mean that YouTube has turned into an extremist pro-cat propaganda center? Or is that a reflection on what I engage with? Think a little. | ||||||||
