Feeding the algorithm
The “For You” pages of the world are right, I am interested in that content, but I’m not seeing it from my friends, or that one author I like, or that random blog I found when I was learning about an obscure hobby.

The scary thing about content creators on algorithmic platforms is that the audience blurs between human watchers and ranking algorithms. Who do they satisfy when they produce content? To be captured by an audience is perhaps also being captured by an algorithm? In a quest for endless optimization. Just some thoughts on my last essay in @artnews
