It's fine to be uncomfortable with the endgame for an extremely permissive sexual culture. It's also fine to be uncomfortable rolling it back. But this isn't about the algorithms, it's about you having your nose rubbed in your own "values." https://twitter.com/hunterwalk/status/1292104730181636097 …
I don't really have a strong opinion on the "best" settling point for a lot of these cultural norms, but the idea that whoever manages the Insta algo should be the one to figure that out seems... really, really bad?
If you want a society that feels at least a little guilty hitting "like" on a 19-year-old in a schoolgirl costume, you're going to have to manage that on the culture layer. Demanding the tech layer fix it for you is begging for dystopia
For the sake of not spending all day in the replies: if you think men didn't want to see lots and lots of partially-unclothed women in rapid succession until an algorithm offered it, I think you're silly
You might think it's bad that there's a product that offers that, and that's fine. What I'm asking you to do is to be honest about the nature of your complaint.
The direction I see all this headed in, potentially, is that the sort of people who got their rocks off railing at religious institutions for "controlling women" will demand behind the scenes that certain female behavior be dampened on the algorithmic level "for their own good."
What I'd like is for us to drag these conversations into daylight and actually talk about what we want and what we don't want, without insisting that every mixed outcome of our preferred ideals is somebody else's fault.
That's why I think the world will move to "holoapps" style "viewers". Not sure how it will work, but fb and twitter are just algo subscriptions,, nobody would use.
Off the top of my head, the solution (to a much wider class of problem than this) is probably to celebrate and signal boost the alternatives that we want to see. They’re always out there if we go looking for them
Agreed, for so many things! Whatever gets energy wins. Opposing something still gives it energy. Give energy to what you like and let what you don't like wither on the vine
Tired: techbros at Twitter and Facebook are dangerous. Wired: It's cool that teenagers use Tiktok to learn social norms. There is a bit of cognitive dissonance there...
This isn’t a “value” or a “culture norm” to have a sex drive. The TikTok algo makes a huge difference between half a second and one second of viewing time. You can not want to have a feed dominated by sexuality but still have it catch your eye every time
