catsamarista 's review for:
Filterworld: How Algorithms Flattened Culture
by Kyle Chayka
informative
medium-paced
I wrote a long review about him calling Taylor Swift an "ironic brushstroke" via the DJ he was writing about, but then Safari deleted it.
I'm taking this as a sign to just say the 1/4 star is for his misunderstanding of Taylor Swift and Billie Eilish's well-accoladed and respected artistry, and that I enjoyed his definition of curation, etc.
And the reminder that so much of our consumption is not of our own choice; and if we were to make more of that, and to do so offline, we'd find it much more enriching.
"To resist FIlterword, we must become our own curators once more and take responsibility for what we're consuming. Regaining that control isn't so hard. You make a personal choice and begin to intentionally seek out your own cultural rabbit hole, which leads you in new directions, to yet more independent decisions. They compound over time into a sense of taste, and ultimately into a sense of self."
