At what point did the internet become a giant echo chamber?

[Knowledge]

The same shyt i see on here be the same shyt i see on reddit, be the same shyt i see on youtube, be the same shyt i see on Twitter, etc. It could be the most random thing ever like a video on YouTube from 2013 gets recommended to me, that same video video will be posted on reddit 5 times over in the same day, posted on worldstar, then multuple threads on here for the same video. I dont remember it being like this a few years ago, or maybe i just wasnt paying attention.

You basically laid it out in your post: the beginning of Social Media.

This was a layer of the internet that didn’t exist for OGs like us who were on MSN/AOL chat, BP, AHH/SOHH boards but with the creation of social media, the internet exploded. Now people find their niche segments of their interests on the internet and these echo chambers get louder and louder.

It's not an echo chamber, you only see your room because the algorithms work well

Best explanation. It'll blow your mind/change your perspective:

search engines

once algorithms stepped in to decide for you what you want based on a short passage, new algorithms keep getting developed to more or less do the same thing

very hard to undo algorithms that are built on top of existing natural algorithms.

When it became policed and overly moderated

Basically when all the everyday “cool” people started using the internet

Why isn't there more cross pollination? even in ideas?

When did getting a passport become a "gang"? The shyt that was understood didn't need to be said.. People are just attention whores is the problem and it contagious. "Studies" have shown this.

algorithms are too extreme.

its ridiculous i feel like they have access to whatever email is linked to your debit card too cus i bought some salmon never searched for it now all of a sudden im seeing HEB ads for salmon

it keeps you blocked off i miss how it use to be 13 years ago.

the algorithm is ruling you.


you gotta rule the algorithm

Algorithms is a reflection of the person..
