I wasn’t a TikTok user, but, from what people tell me, by their third swipe the algorithm already knew enough about them that almost everything they get recommended was stuff they were interested in.
How is it that Google with raw access to SO MUCH MORE information than just a few swipes can’t manage to zero in on what I’m actually interested in and instead I see so much garbage that I don’t bother looking at.
The guy that destroyed yahoo search is the head of google search. That’s pretty much how in a nutshell.
Oh shit really who is this gentleman of whom you speak I do not believe I have heard of him
Prabhakar Raghavan. This is a really good listen if you want to learn more.
You’ll seek out what you are interested in anyway. But people are paying Google to show you stuff you’d never look for.
Probably (a big guess) is because google is interested in monetization, and getting the best payout for themselves and their advertisers they can contractually manage. You’re gonna get what google makes the most money off of before you get what you actually want to see. Just like google search.
Tiktok appears to be far more interested in making you stay on the platform and keeping your attention. They get what they want by making you an addict, for lack of a better term.
The answer is the same as other similar cases, enshitification.
Hey guys, taking bets on how long the world is going to last. I would say from tomorrow til the first atomic bomb will be 6 months. Any bets?!
Nah, the major nuclear powers are the new Axis. What will happen is the EU will collapse from internal dissent as it tries to ramp up military spending (if it bothers) and then everyone will suddenly notice that there’s no empires remaining that actually oppose the neo-Nazis.
In the anarchist history texts of the Culture the EU will be deservedly mocked as an even less functioning version of the HRE.
