Haven’t thought about it, but this piece did make wonder if the situation has evolved, and whether recommender media are different in key ways from plain social media

I think I have some natural immunity to recommender media. I basically never get sucked in.

Impressive. I sense I’m part of the last age cohort that has some solid immunities built in. Didn’t have a smart phone til I was 25.

I don’t know that it is… just low stamina for pursuing interests I didn’t pick myself

just thinking now it would be interesting to know if recommenders flatten out the matthew effect or make it worse

That would be interesting. I would guess tiktok influencers are less stable than Instagram and knock each other off the top more often, since they don’t control distribution as directly

Unless you count tvtropes and Wikipedia, where the interlinking is human created basic hyperlinking, not AI
