Filterworld: How Algorithms Flattened Culture by Kyle Chayka

3.75

i’m a little annoyed at my dude kyle (and/or his fact checkers) for 1. saying twitter invented vine (they didn’t, they bought it from some cringe serial entrepreneurs who are ALSO my enemies but twitter is my BIGGER ENEMY as detailed in my contribution to the bitza press social media zine) and 2. oversimplifying why taylor swift re-recorded her back catalogue (it’s not NOT to game the algorithm but it’s primarily to get her rights back) but i’ll allow it for a well written and overall decent argument for paying for weird culture
