“‘For the gram’ he chants, as he pulls back his skull exposing his brain for the sacrifice . ‘Oh algorithm hear me! I give thee my heart, my brain, all of me. Maketh me viral. I give thee my music interests in exchange for trending audio. I get naked for thee, I dance for thee, I offer up content every day for thee. Shine your light upon me and bring forth the followers.”

I’m aware of the irony of sharing this. I don’t think this platform is evil and I don’t think wanting recognition or followers is a horrible thing (I’ve made amazing connections here), but If we don’t watch out it can easily sweep us away. Little by little we change to feed the algorithm, and we’re no longer creating what we want to bring to the world.
“I will make the things I want to make. Share the things I want to share on the schedule I want to share them.”
