The social dilemma documentary on Netflix is terrifying

[EBK String]

it interviews a bunch of engineers and former executives at companies like Google, Facebook and Twitter. Basically no one really knows how these algorithms work and they are controlling our lives and destabilizing the world. They are also made to as addictive as possible.

Why would an executive know deep technical aspects such as content algorithms.

These things are not that complicated for software engineers and I am sure they understand it

 

[The Dust King]

get scared then feed the algorithm with more propaganda you learned from online

you do it everyday

 

[Ghost Utmost]

I have no social media except this site

Its fine to delete that shyt

As someone that makes money off advertising it's a catch 22. I wouldn't let my kids get on social media until after high school tho...shyt is manipulative af.

Very good doc tho.

Watching it now. It's good

 

[G.O.A.T Squad Spokesman]

Watching the doc you can see how people are so uninformed and why women post so many thirst traps. Dopamine is real. This doc is a must watch for every American.

Btw, the coli is part of it too to a lesser extent.

It's why last year I turned off dap and rep notifications.

Only thing I see now is when ppl quote me

exactly They collect data points and identify patterns. It is not complicated to a developer.

e.g.

1st User is 17 year old female from Utah that likes anime and k-pop, spends an average of 2 minutes on a page, replies to dms within average 3 minutes etc

They collect millions of this data and then identify averages, patterns. Documentary might be to people that aren't developers but this is normal to increase user engagement.

Watch this weekend,, kinda knew this tho

 

[LezJepzin]

Saw it last week . I can see why Zucks has been targeted mostly on it . His trackers are no joke and the Truman show references carry a lot of similarities to how these companies look at us.

It's scary how cookies have become.

Netflix got the streets talking again
Kind of funny since it’s the same algorithms that’s making it well known
