I think the bigger issue is what % of content is being filtered through a recommendation algorithm that has been trained on probably very similar metrics. Even if there are 6-20-100 companies if they are all using similar metrics, ad clicks, retention and so on in terms of what to recommend people it seems likely there will be a high degree of convergence. What does society look like when most of what we consume is optimized for these metrics? It also changes what content is even created. There is a lot of talk about politics/elections but I think the changes are even more far reaching. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zgmpJIyYY1Y https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zgmpJIyYY1Y Weirdly I think this video is one of the most disturbing. Makes you really question to what degree our collective culture is being shaped by these recommendation systems. The algorithmic construction of reality. Designed to drip feed us dopamine in high definition. How many people are going to be on their deathbed wishing they had scrolled just a little further?
