You should watch The Social Dilemma on Netflix. It’s a very accessible explanation of how social media works by creating psychographic profiles to maximize engagement. It’s written and narrated by experts in their respective fields, many of whom created the systems that are now standard. It’s legitimately scary stuff. They’ve been using psychographic profile systems since 2010, so they’ve only gotten more advanced with time.
I will check it out. I’m already somewhat anti-personal-social-media. Lemmy and formerly Reddit where I can just say and be whoever I want with basically no identity is a different case. I get creeped out and stop posting any time I gain any sort of actual following, including abandoning Reddit identities every few years and starting fresh. I’m basically shit at social media, is what I’m saying, but I don’t care because I hate it, but also I need upvotes - PLEASE LOVE ME!
Anyway, yeah man, I’ll check it out. That actually does sound like something I would have interesting nightmares about.
Sorry if my humor missed, but fuck it, you don’t know me.
