I'm afraid to Google something because I don't want the algorithm to think I like it.

I'm afraid to skip a song because I don't want the algorithm to block all songs like it.

I'm afraid to click a link because I don't want the algorithm to show me more like it.

What a cage.

Irony is having a tweet about fear of algorithms do numbers in the algorithm.

My feed is suddenly full of random dudes throwing out unsolicited advice as though I have no idea what I'm talking about, and I feel like I've gotten a little glimpse of what it's like to be a woman on the internet.

Update: random dudes are now saying the unsolicited toxic replies are actually *my* fault for saying something in the first place. So NOW I feel like I've gotten a little glimpse of what it's like to be a woman on the internet.
