- croon 9y agoThe point of an algorithm is it can work regardless of what values you put into it (my opinion or someone elses). It's entirely possible that I don't have a good/common/high brow/low brow/whatever sense of humor (though I obviously think I have a great one), but the entire point I was making was: Am I as a comedian approaching this subject in the service of my joke/keen insight, or am I doing it for shock value/to be "edgy"? I guess the audience can never truly know, but that doesn't change the fact that it is often varying degrees of obvious.
