Algorithm 

an algorithm is a set of rules or instructions that platforms use to decide what content you see, in what order, and when. Since millions of posts, photos, and videos are uploaded every day, algorithms help filter and organize that massive amount of content.

On TikTok, the “For You” page is powered by an algorithm that studies your watch time, interactions, and even how long you pause on certain videos.

algorithm hell 

Algorithm hell refers to a behavior of the Youtube Algorithm to not push out a creators content as much as before. It is usually caused due to inactivity of the uploader and the algorithm assuming the channel is esentially dead even though the creator is still uploading

My friend took a two month break from youtube and now he’s in algorithm hell.

Algorithm Breakers (AB) are Youtube/TikTok Content Creators who spam the Algorithm with low-quality content. The content that Algorithm Breakers makes range from Fortnight Vbuck scams to videos of them begging kids to subscribe to them.

algorithm anxiety 

For algorithms that aim to give or tell you something you want based on a person's input data, such as likes, shares, interactions. Examples include, social media ads, feed algorithms, song recommendation algorithms.

Algorithm anxiety is when a person gets anxious about their inputs to the algorithm as it might give the algorithm the wrong idea.
and/or
When a person is anxious about what the output of the algorithm is, as they may feel it's 'not them' or how they might be manipulated by it.

"Shit, I accidentally liked that song, that's just ruined my algorithm. I'm so anxious now to like songs I don't actually like, I have algorithm anxiety."

"I keep getting ads for these boots, should I buy them? do I like them? or are they just being drilled into me from the algorithm? what if these clothes s I bough were a product of the algorithm and not actually my decisions?! OK I have algorithm anxiety now. "
