i really should do this
I have just realized how horrifyingly over reliant I am on recommendation algorithms.
a very large amount of the stuff I see online is spoon fed to me (youtube, tumblr, roblox, etc.) and my only input is whether I like it or dislike it.
its so bad that I actually get nervous whenever I go to genuinely search for something, which in turn has made me quite bad at it.
to put it into a metaphor, I have not been surfing the web, I have been sitting on a tram with tinted windows through the web.
so I’m deciding that I’m going to try and drastically limit the amount of algorithmic content I view, while staying on the internet. luckily for you all, wasteof proudly does not have a recommendation algorithm so I won’t be leaving, potentially I’ll even become more active on here.
I have no idea how long I’ll impose this on myself, but I might keep yall updated.
as Randal Munroe once said:
“a BA in communications guarantees that you’ll achieve… a little less than if you learned to underwater basket-weave“
accidentally walked into the wrong class on the first day. turns out i'm not enrolled in underwater basket weaving after all
wait
the turquoise color that jan Misali uses is #008472, and the number 8472 shows up a lot in his earlier youtube stuff
very coherent for a markov post
as someone who doesn’t have arachnaphobia, i have never seen a spider in the shower
Although the Barbie movie was good I hate the trend of corporate propaganda in the form of movies. There was a pop-tart one that I saw and it annoys me a lot because all it's trying to do is say "we're a cool brand! Buy our products :D!!!"
I still think about the Barbie film every now and then, subverted my expectations and it was really enjoyable.
