I saw some pitch for this app that just hurls video content at you, without any user input. Just whatever the hell it decided you want, zero framing or UI around it. It's like someone digitized my mind and created something diametrically opposed to anything I'd want to interact with.
How do you see this and feel anything but revulsion so powerful that it hurls you away from the screen like a psychokinetic blast?
@IrisKalmia I swear I thought this was a troll at first, like nobody would actually try go get humans to use this. Then I remembered how kiddie YouTube turned into a weird algorithmically-mutated Henry Darger dimension because toddlers just sit there and watch whatever chain-autoplays after Peppa Pig Finger Family Singalong.
@Zero_Democracy Hey what if we took everything that is good about watching videos on a computer as compared to watching TV, and just, like, got rid of it all?
@Zero_Democracy Searching is blasphemy, control the evilest of heresies. Submit to the Algorithm and be blessed in its sight. Algmen.
@weemadhamish Volume control? Why do you need that clutter?
@Zero_Democracy Your ears will adjust, it is the mercy of the Algorithm.
Pause and rewind question the judgment of the Algorithm, which has already decided what bits your mind will perceive.
Your mind is not strong enough for the funniest of bits, adventurer, so the Algorithm will play them while you are distracted.
@Zero_Democracy also I think that idea might just have been tried before..😆
@vfrmedia Let's take what made Pregnant Spider Man Ilsa Frozen Finger Family YouTube into an incomprehensible hellscape and apply it to Instagram celebrities. It's beyond Scarfolk.
