> a complex machine designed to cash in on some of the darker aspects of human nature Like the US government. As for algorithms, why single one out? Google, Twitter, and Hacker News all create algorithmic filter bubbles. What's the alternative? Getting rid of the algorithms and going back to direct human manipulation of the content we see? We already have Fox News for that, and it's not an improvement. The algorithm is part of the experience, which is why it's not at all true that our hypothetical grandma could get the same value from Google Photos. Who are you to say that their opinion of the value they receive is worth less than your opinion?
