@TechConnectify Something about content recommendation algorithms that deeply disturbs me is that 1) they are meant to maximise profits, no matter the cost/harm to users and everyone else, and 2) that whatever maximises profit is often genuinely very harmful.

@TechConnectify If I lean a bit out the window, I'd even say that this is a driving factor behind current political developments, and by that I mean the rise of populism and far-right (and extremist in general) propaganda, with all the xenophobia, hate and anti-democratic bullshit they bring with them.
I don't know how to fix this.
