This was so good! Also sad. Also infuriating.

I came in expecting more ‘fuck capitalism' satire in the vein of Landscape Under Invisible Hand, and I got that, but what I didn't expect was the depressing exploration of how algorithm driven content drives people into segmented niches and cliques, reinforces (and refuses to challenge) their beliefs, and softens/hides the harsh realities of the world while brazenly, surreptitiously, cruelly, and kindly is always trying to peddle shit. How people raised and taught by an algorithm driven hyper-capitalist nanny are exactly perfectly ill-equipped for any sort of real moments requiring patience and introspection. How our weird self-induced technological isolation bubbles are completely fucking our brains into vapid misery.

It's fun. I loved it.
