The Algorithm Doesn't Know What You're Missing
Curation is not nostalgia. It's resistance.

There is a strange kind of loneliness that comes from living inside an algorithm. It feeds you what you already like, what you already watched, what you already clicked. It builds a mirror around you and calls it discovery.

And after a while, you start to believe the world has shrunk to the size of your own habits.

The algorithm doesn't know what you're missing. It only knows what you've already surrendered.

On feeds, taste, and why curation is resistance.
