algofak

An algorithm, replete with the biases and ignorance of the programmers or HAL 9000s who created them, that fucks up your access to everything you need to live a life. Often takes the form of poorly programmed bots rejecting or ignoring resumes. Swap in the term "home loan application" or "college application" for "resume," and you can see where this is going.

Algorithm Pimp

A marketer who makes content optimized purely for digital algorithms, instead of their audience's interests.

Devoid of substance and nuance, Algorithm Pimp's content usually features generic 101 advice, platitudes, truisms, Top 10 listicles, and whatever topic is currently trending in the world.

In SEO circles, Algorithm Pimps can be found on backlink farms, buying guest posts no one reads, promoting content that is SEO'd to the point where it's barely readable by a human being.

On social media, Algorithm Pimps run engagement pods, publish content at the exact same time every day, and tend to use bright color profile pictures to identify other Algorithm Pimps.

The fear of angering Zuckerberg's algorithms stops them from developing brand differentiation or an authentic point-of-view. Instead, they religiously follow best practices dictated by the channel they're marketing on.

Algorithm Pimps are usually strong performers on vanity metrics that don't quite translate to business results.

Due to their robot-like nature, Algorithm Pimps are most likely candidates to eventually be replaced by AI.
