Yeah. If you spend time around brown people, you can hear them watching the lowest IQ content slop imaginable.
But I think the very premise of using an algorithm is wrong-headed from the start. Think about it like this:
Let’s say that the algorithm updates the content on a website in rounds.
In Round 1, the algorithm selects for the most effective slop content. So the people making genuine content have less eyes on them, whereas the people who make slop have more eyes.
In Round 2, the algorithm selects again. This time there is more slop being posted, and the algo chooses the most effective content from that pool. At this point, a lot of genuine content creators give up.
In Round 3, the algorithm tweaks the winners from Round 2 and makes them more effective. By this point, the genuine creators are buried, and have to be searched high and low for.
So this is a very incestuous system. The AI is selecting the AI-selected content. As a result, people begin to seriously dislike the website. It pulls you in and keeps you addicted, but the time spent is regretted.
