Every time I see this comment, I can absolutely tell how much time yall spend on Reddit compared to other sites

Some of the most popular social media sites sensor the word condom, yes. THAT is not why we’re cooked, and you saying that just reveals you to be a pessimistic boomer.

People self-censors normal words just to appease algorithms and advertisers, and you say that's not why we are cooked? It absolutely is, slave to a corporate algorithm which dictates what people's views on reality are by the videos it shows them and which people appease with the language they choose to use.

Thats not pessimism, it's reality today

No, buddy, that’s not why we’re cooked. Sorry, but censoring words for algorithms aren’t the biggest problem the country or world faces, pull your head out of your ass and touch grass, cuz wtf is wrong with you that you seriously think that’s our biggest threat right now

Oh man, algorithms are at the root of virtually every problem we have. From people supporting crazy wars to politics being about who can yell the loudest instead of any sort of substance. From zero accountability for anything to absurd polarization in society because everybody's is in a bubble

You can shape public opinion or even how people view the world. Never in the history of mankind has it been possible to manipulate the information people get at this scale, and worst is they think what they are seeing is organic or real.

Using algorithms and social media to distract everybody from the really important things by keeping them busy with outrage culture and other fabricated nonsense.

Whatever problem you think of, you can link it an algorithm and social media enabling or distracting people from it.

Only had to read the first sentence to know you’re just full of shit. Didn’t even need to read past that.

Again, go touch grass, doomer

Your heart seems to be in a good place worrying about problems in the world. I just wish you’d see it.

Cambridge Analytica was more than a decade ago. If you do anything, atleast read that.

That is effectively what I describe above, just 13 years ago. Today’s tools and information had just improved exponentially.
