Totally agree with this. My work and study involves a fair amount of statistics. Yesterday I got accidentally nerd sniped by some bad date based numerology which I promptly spent 20 minutes angrily demolishing. It would have been nice to not see numerology on my fb feed because I could have put that effort towards something more constructive.
- Mezzie 5y agoI work in communications for a non-partisan civic/political non-evil organization (Think like the Congressional Research Service or parts of NARA, nothing sexy or cool) and my graduate focus was on filter bubbles/social media algorithms/information policy (back in 2015). I also do front-end/UI/UX work. There have been multiple times when I've logged into my social media (or my regular media feeds) and felt nauseated. I can just see all the fingerprints everywhere, pushing us this way and that, and I have also seen the effect that it has had on my loved ones over the past 7 years. It's like everything now is covered with this disgusting, vampiric slime that prevents you from making genuine connections with others. But I cannot move the ocean with a thimble.
