I don’t think the algo had an ideology lean though. It just showed you more of what you’ve already watched. Also not great.

- pavel_lishin 5y agoI think it's a mistake to assume that algorithms don't have an ideology lean. Even if one wasn't (accidentally or intentionally) programmed in, it can certainly develop one.
- dragonwriter 5y agoAll algorithms are designed with a purpose, and the purpose (when talking about the kind of product-defining content-prioritization algorithms being discussed) usually is grounded in value judgements. In a for-profit firm, especially, it may just be capitalist profit-maximization, but that is also an ideology.
