a visual metaphor for why i hate algorithmic feeds finally hit me
humans are association-creatures, if you're hit with random stuff all the time we call that being scatter-brained, we need to be able to remember the journey for there to be meaning
the journey is sometimes just “my friend recommended this to me”. but that recommendation tells me something about my friend, and gives an insight into their taste, which may blossom into a dialogue. i can't have a dialogue with the machine (see also: my blogpost about twitter)
