This is such a good, important article - absolutely spot on in so many ways.

“The Technology That Actually Runs Our World

The most dominant algorithms aren’t the ones choosing what songs Spotify serves you.”

“Maybe the most worrying thing about algorithms is that they give institutional actors a degree of plausible deniability.”
…
“When artists argue that their song didn’t catch a tailwind from the right keywords, or that their book isn’t selling well because it didn’t reach the right influencers, what they’re really doing is expressing fear that there is no room for artists to exist anymore.”
…
“Some technologies really are eroding the viability of public pursuits, and perhaps enjoying or criticizing cultural works based on their merits could help us focus our attention a bit.”

This is icky. I’m not a creator, just a consumer. And it already annoys me that YouTube tries to shove red pill right wing stuff down my throat because I watch a lot of videos that are the opposite of that.

But now the algorithm is suggesting “inspiration” to creators telling them what they should make videos about & even suggesting titles for them? Ew.

Please don’t allow the algorithm to tell you what you should be talking about. Please don’t do that.

From the link:
“A new creative partner
Coming up with fresh, engaging ideas can be a challenge. So we’re giving the Inspiration Tab in YouTube Studio a makeover, creating a brainstorming buddy powered by generative AI. It’ll help curate suggestions that you can mold into fully-fledged projects with video ideas, titles, thumbnails, and outlines to match your style.”
