    There is a large part of me that wants this bubble to burst, not because my life wouldn’t be worse I just have the strong, destructive “I told you so” desire.

    If something does burst it, I think it will be the insane power of content creators (especially video) to drive sales when they review things.

    I think this will/already has lead to those with money compressing video content creators into a tight spot where they have to do everything they can do to satisfy the algorithm. When creators jokingly say something along the lines of “like, subscribe, comment and make those youtube algorithms happy!” I just wonder is that even funny at this point?

    How warped is this already where content creators will be forced to push their users to interact in ways that the algorithm thinks signify human engagement.
