It’s the algorithm talking

When people that you care about have been negatively manipulated by social media falsehoods, nonsense and conspiracy theories.

Similar to ‘it’s the whiskey talking’ when friends lose their filter after a night of drinking.

The Grand Algorithm

The Grand Algorithm is a phrase in reference of search algorithms used to discover new information.

"Searching for boots and being presented with un-related information"
*searches cranberries* can't wait to listen to this album *get's results for cranberry recipes*

Well, I guess The Grand Algorithm willed it

Heuristic Algorithm

A learning or discovering technique based on experience. Or, a way to try something new (like a new position), based on what you already know. If you know what I mean...
-"Sheila and I are going to go work out some serious Heuristic Algorithms tonight."

-"I find this solution to your Heuristic Algorithm really painful."

-"You should try Dave's Heuristic Algorithm! It's got some really intense solutions!"

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.

emotional algorithm

Your emotional algorithm, is a subconscious selection process that is choosing the wrong the person for you. You overlook the red flags because are so familiar that they feel like home. Possibly the same red flags as one of your parents.
