Great stuff. I recently wrote a little essay about inheriting the family violin and deciding to learn how to play it. Now I am getting violin lesson ads across all my platforms: YouTube, Google, Facebook, etc. It's creepy af. When I used to do a lot of content writing, my research had me googling all sorts of things every day. The algorithm for me was schizophrenic.
Brilliant article. I've been watching this develop over the decades and we're definitely fighting algorithmic influence in every part of our lives these days.
