- lobsterthief 2y agoI’ve never heard this before in my 20+ years of software engineering. Perhaps this is within the context of a conversation.
- kalleboo 2y agoYes this is in the context of normal human beings talking about their lives on social networks, not engineers. Like when people get a random post or video served to them they found interesting they'll say "the algo decided I should see this today" Content creators will discuss what they need to create for "the algo" to like and promote them.
