// REJECT THE ALGORITHM FEED

The algorithm knows you better than you know yourself. It predicts what you’ll click, what you’ll buy, what you’ll think next. This is not magic - it’s manipulation disguised as convenience.

The Feed Machine

Every swipe, every pause, every micro-interaction trains the machine. The algorithm doesn’t show you what you need - it shows you what keeps you scrolling. There’s a difference.

You think you’re discovering content, but you’re being fed. You think you’re choosing, but you’re being chosen for.

The Creativity Killer

Algorithmic feeds are creativity poison:

  • Echo chambers - You only see variations of what you already like
  • Instant gratification - No time to develop deep thoughts
  • Comparison addiction - Everyone else’s highlight reel vs your reality
  • Shortened attention span - Complex ideas get reduced to soundbites

How can you create something new when you’re only exposed to refinements of the old?

Intentional Discovery

Replace passive consumption with active exploration:

Follow rabbit holes. When something interests you, dig deeper. Read the whole article, not just the headline. Find the source, question the source.

Seek uncomfortable ideas. Read authors who challenge your worldview. Listen to music from cultures you don’t understand. The algorithm would never show you this.

Use chronological feeds. See what people are actually posting, not what the machine thinks you want to see.
