Description
What if you could turn off the algorithm completely?
Today on Egotastic FunTime, we’re talking about personalized recommendations, online tracking, privacy, and the increasingly uncomfortable feeling that the internet is constantly trying to figure out who you are.
Algorithms can help us discover great stuff, but they can also shape what we see, reward outrage, influence creators, and keep feeding us more of whatever grabs our attention.
So what happens when convenience starts interfering with autonomy?
And if YouTube, Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, and X gave you a switch that turned off personalized recommendations and only showed content from people you deliberately chose to follow...
Would you press it?
Let me know in the comments.
