I always wonder, how did the algorithm get like this?

is there really that strong of a correlation between users engaging in one of these and then suddenly proceeding to only ever want to engage with this kind of content? Has it been trained by bot farms boosting this kind of content artificially? Or, is there someone at the company who’s put their finger on the scale?

I think it's the algorithm accurately determining which advertisement slot you fit into better than all the other slots.

There's probably a good deal of evidence that one small snowball is enough to turn a significant portion of listeners into MAGA or die listeners. The algorithm is just skipping all the middle stuff of "i'm just starting to question...."

The topic of the community: "Right wingers planning something".

An example would be if like trump announces he's going to run for president. Or a deportation movement picking up steam (which insinuates more upcoming deportations)

Don't post links to sign up pages or anything like that, otherwise right wingers might eventually start watching this community to discover and recruit.

A good format is to expect the reader to be silly and to explain how this rightwing activity will affect the bigger picture. Ex if trump becomes president there will likely be more deportations.
