The Problem Social media promised to connect us, but it has become a tool for manipulation and control. The platforms we use daily have fundamentally broken the social contract they built their empires on. The Broken Follow Button Remember when \"following\" someone actually meant something? When clicking \"follow\" was a deliberate choice to see someone's thoughts and updates in your feed? That promise is dead. Today's social media platforms use algorithmic feeds that decide what you see. The people you deliberately chose to follow? Their posts might never reach you. Meanwhile, content from accounts you don't follow—but the algorithm thinks will keep you scrolling—floods your feed. The follow button still exists, but it's meaningless. It's a vestige of the old internet, kept around to maintain the illusion of user control while algorithms make the real decisions. The Engagement Trap These platforms don't show you what's relevant, meaningful, or even what you asked to see. They show you what keeps you scrolling. Algorithms are optimized for one thing: engagement . Not truth. Not quality. Not importance. Just engagement. - Outrage gets engagement, so you see more outrage - Divisive content gets engagement, so you see more division - Clickbait gets engagement, so you see more manipulation - D","default_branch":null,"files":null,"tree":[],"storefront":"/r/ozziest","claimed":false,"request_supported":{"post":"https://gitbuyer.com/r/ozziest/rawfeed.social/request-supported","requests":0},"note":"indexed from public GitHub; nothing is for sale on this page.
