This is not a story of the algorithm predicting what you like. It's showing if you expose a human to the same content over and over again. It can change their way of thinking in order to like the thing they are exposed to. Even more so if they don't know how it works and the person think everyone is into slime. I need to be into it too to fit in. It's very powerful if you want to manipulate populous. It's algorithm induced Stockholm Syndrome.

You don't even need an algorithm to do it either. I didn't use Linux when I signed up for Lemmy...
