I agree with everything you said Seren. Our society in this day and age puts value in anything that can go viral and create a moment. When I saw ppl ordering that sauce, I thought to myself, some of yall are really GULLIBLE. Just because you seen some shit on the internet doesn't mean you should always hop on it, especially if you're only doing it to stay current and trendy. That sauce looked disgusting and some ppl's orders were even discolored. A MESS😫

Hi seren. I think this is a very interesting topic. I think that since so many people are "chronically online" the deleterious effects of being subject to algorithms + content for hours each day are playing out. I think that explains the state of American music, arts, and journalism. Without access to the proprietary equation (algorithm), data inputs or other info that drives virulence, it's impossible to truly understand. So now it seems people are trying to infer the solution to a data-driven math problem with no facts or figures. Like computer science is real....idk
