Fear induced by lingering on a piece of content on social media which may cause that company's algorithm to provide similar content to your feed in the future.
Although I enjoy occasionally seeing posts about celebrity gossip, my algoraphobia drives me to scroll past it as quickly as possible so they don't think I want to see that type of content regularly.

Get the algorithm feeder mug.That feeling that something came up in your social media accounts randomly, but in reality you know it was not randomly, and likely the result of an algorithm pushing that content to you because it is well aware of everything you browse when you are online. Many people think these "coincidences" are the result of devices "listening" to conversations, without realizing that their online behaviours are equally telling of their preferences.
Person 1: I think my phone is listening to my conversations. I've been looking to buy a house and now my social media feeds are filled with home inspection services.
Person 2: This is no coincidence. It's just algorandomly generated content.

Get the algorandomly mug.Normally used for online card games (Hearthstone, Magic the Gathering: Arena, etc), getting Algorithm'd refers a pattern where the algorithm for randomness works against you because of intentional skews to the 'randomness' aspect' reflecting your account seeding/weighing.
Hearthstone - When there repeatedly find yourself in dominant board states and your opponents randomly generate cards (via the Discover aspect, for example) which perfectly answer your board. The game's algorithm analyzes your board and will generate cards for an opponent which, statistically, are more likely to be impactful rather than generating a completely random card(s).
Magic the Gathering: Arena - When you are losing consecutive games against different players playing the same deck and you change only to find that now your new opponents are playing a deck which has a high win-rate against yours yet again. The game's algorithm categorizes decks based on card inclusion and calculates an internal win % against other decks with different card inclusions and will pair you against people playing something that is statistically more likely to beat what you are playing, bypassing MMR and Ranking.
In both cases, in active games, drawing/generating cards repeatedly over multiple games which are ineffective in the current game state is also getting algorithm'd.
