I don’t see how that’s related. But I do worry about these misconceptions of “algorithms” and what they do (they’re not algorithms).

It's related to explaining network effects. People are stuck because of network effects, not quality of the feed or app or etc.

I care more about how this technology is perceived, when the public debate is ran by humanities scholars. The YouTube vid is moot.

hahaha is humanities scholar an insult? Once someone tried to insult me as librarian. I'm neither but I'd be honored to be either.

No, it’s not an insult :/ it’s an observation… I dunno, maybe it doesn’t translate well. I’d say ‘geesteswetenschapper’ in Dutch.

I come from a techie background, switched to social science later. Why am I bothering to explain? Google is your friend. Good luck.

And there is no need to be agitated/curt. I wasn’t trying to insult you :/. I do disagree with your article, tho (yes, it hurt :p).

Write a response and I will read and even publicize if it is substantive. I welcome all technical objections. Vague dismissals? meh.

I am actually working on a crisp dismissal ;), but in Dutch. I can send you the Google translate link if/when it gets published.

I would read anything in long form. My Dutch is lousy, worse than my German.
