RE: How to Unplug From The Matrix By Giving Social Media Algorithms The Digital Middle Finger- 3 Tips (Text & Audio Versions) #texttosteem

in #texttosteem8 years ago (edited)

Brilliant idea writing an article and creating an audio-version too, and great recording!
I chose this audio version personally ^, while skimming the article.

I agree that challenging yourselves, your interests and your ideas is important, not just to confuse the big algorithm bots, but mostly to widen your perspective.

Thanks for the tips too. On the topic of things you can do to obfuscate yourself: A few months ago I listened to a tech show talking about how they had an algorithm running totally random search words and sentences on search services such as Google. I have to wonder what strange, mixed advertising, the ad-bots tried to throw at their PC after that.

You jokingly called me a "vaynorhead" earlier, and while that is probably true to some extend, I believe we shouldn't give up out identity to faceless corporations spoonfeeding us colorless sameness.

Maybe we should all have an obfuscation bot searching random things for us to learn every now and then.

Thanks for the article! (expect me to snack your text + audio idea, sorry not sorry ;) )

Thanks for the encouragement! #texttosteem was totally @teamhumble's idea so I can't take any credit for that one, but I've definately been enjoying recording my posts even if it takes way more effort I think it's worth it - I enjoy the process and I'm hoping people will take us up on the idea as a steemgig :)
