Consumer abuse isn't an emergent property of algorithms. They're designed, by people, to abuse consumers.
- syshum 6y agoI agree with everything except for the fact you are treating gmail, YT and other google services users as "consumers" remember if you do not pay for a service you are the product, and 90% of google services and algorithm's are deigned to control their product (aka the users) This is the root of the problem; to google and their devs you the user are not a person, are not a human, you are just raw ore for them to mine, refine, pack and resell to their consumer the advertisers
- efreak 6y agoI think you're confusing customers and consumers, which are related but different. Google users may not be their customers, but they are absolutely consumers.
