  • It’s not the media, it’s the recommendation algorithm.

    They’re all a problem, but we have no way to regulate or monitor the algorithms as it stands.

    Tiktok is an even higher risk because the recommendation algorithm is unknown to anyone on US soil. Nobody is going to whistleblow from the inside on TikTok because… they can’t; it’s all compartmentalized and nobody outside of China has access to the algorithm.

    This whataboutism is about as valid as “her emails” because yeah, it’s a problem but there are also other problems to consider and reasons to get started fully acknowledging we won’t solve the entire problem.





  • Honestly the all trails stuff I don’t even find to be worth it in my area. It doesn’t have the trails, it has “trails.”

    i.e. it stitches 5 individual trails together into a mega trail with some roads you have to walk and then says oh look, a 6th trail over here!

    I’ve been hiking for years and just use park maps and Google maps.
