We need to ban algorithms.

Algorithms are the heart of any app. They track what you like and curate your experience. But ultimately it drags everyone into categories and confirmation bias. I think that’s why the early 2000s were better. All the information was at your disposal but you had to look for it. Now it is fed to you.

Getting rid of the ability to curate our content would mean we would see many random videos we have zero interest in. However, I think that would remove the additive part of it. We would spend less time, and not get caught into rabbit holes we can’t escape. It’s almost impossible to get out unless you delete them all together. Because even if you loose interest in whatever you like or support, you are just dragged into the opposite of that. Anything to keep us engaged.
