He's on the algorithm thing so hard because he probably thinks he's a genius for coming up with it, that and he probably isn't getting as many clicks now so it's at the front of his mind all the time.What is with his obsession lately of blaming the entirety of far-leftist ideology and its popularity on internet algorithms that weren't even around until many decades after second wave feminism, postmodernism, marxism and co. came about and got popular?
He seems incapable of understanding that a trend can have several causes at once. Internet algorithms feed people more of what they have consumed thus far, sometimes leading to radicalization. But Marxism and the general ideas behind it have been a mind virus that keeps spreading. Increasing comfortability has led some people to now demand lives so comfortable, they are just handed everything they want for nothing in return. Western society has never left people more aimless, now that religion is becoming less and less popular, culture and art only tell you to consume more, and schools and universities tell you that discipline and moderation are evil and something only nazis engage in. Many of the effects of social revolutions like feminism have left many men and women confused as to how to engage with one another, leading them to either engage in unhealthy types of relationships or outright avoid each other. "Anti-racists" have led to a rise in hatred between races.
Anonymously accessible 24/7 internet porn, the normalization of fetishes, sky-high percentages of kids growing up in single-parent households, the increasing politicization of science, people radicalized in school growing up and entering the workforce, the hidden agendas of billionaires wanting to lower the average person's QoL to increase their own margins even further. There are countless reasons why companies would turn far-leftist, why people like Dylan Mulvaney would come about, and why they would be pushed by companies. For him, it all seems to start and end at algorithms.
The problem is that he thinks algorithms changed how people think, which might be true for some people, but the algorithms only exist because the people who made them already believed what they wanted to push. His Jack Dorsey example is also stupid as he claims Jack was a libertarian and wanted to push freedom of speech, and at no point does he consider that Jack was just full of shit, instead he claims Jack was mind broken by the algorithm, which is amazingly stupid. Fuck, another Jack, Jack Conti was on the Rubin Report talking about how he wants to make Patreon more fair and give people chances are redemption, and the next week he bans a shit ton of right wing people for dubious reasons, and it's not because of algorithms, it's because they're all lying shitheads.
The reason the Internet was more libertarian original was because there were no rules, and there weren't good ways to control things, as well as people who were on it early on were more business minded people. Then the swarms of normies came in, who already had this shit drilled into their heads from schools and media, and they demanded someone step in and build rules so that they didn't have to be called out on their retarded shit. Seeing this the people who wormed their way into these platforms tuned them to be more favorable to the commies, as they aligned with them.
And Tim's whole thing about anti-police, pro-Ukraine war, whatever being a contradiction isn't relevant either, as people hold contradicting beliefs and the left is notorious for this. After all, they have the Anti-Fascist Fascists known as AntiFa, because it's not about stopping injustice, it's about them being in power and having their own way. I think it was Chi Guevara who is applauded for his humility of saying "I don't care if I'm in charge, as long as I live in the world i want." which when you think about it, just means he's in charge but there's a puppet dictator on the throne instead of him. It's not noble, it's just a way to trick you.
They're all for free speech, until it's speech they don't like.
