Repost, but worth it.

This is what the "Luddite" attitude to technology actually is. It's also important to remember that "recommendation" models are also a problem, it's not just the slop generators that need to go.

Not sure if a troll account for stupidity ragebait, but obviously a radio broadcast to all users that "Acme Diapers are Great" is a fucking huge difference to knowing that you, personally, have just had a kid and so now will ONLY see and marketed Acme childcare products. That's different, right? Kinda targets and excludes you from mass exposure to alternatives? Kinda puts you in a little focused bubble right?

Now extrapolate to political and socio economics.

    and so now will ONLY see and marketed Acme childcare products. T

    THAT IS NOT WHAT THE VIDEO IS ABOUT.

    The video is about how people passively consume media instead of search for answers themselves.
