    Sure but you really don’t see the difference between an algorithm aimed at a large sample and set months in advance and one that is changing in real time aimed at individuals? The difference in scale is staggering. Hardly the same.

      Agree to disagree, I guess. In my opinion, it is echo chambers that are the biggest danger, and TV is a bigger echo chamber than the internet.

      There are leftist and activist websites you can visit if you choose. Platforms like Facebook and YouTube have a diverse set of creators you can watch, even if they arent pushed by the algorithm. There is no major leftist or activist news organization on American television, and they tolerate no opposing viewpoints on their respective channels.
