People are freaking out about how the Instagram comment algorithm creates parallel worlds.

We want to share their reality with other people. If you take ‘personalization’ so far that everybody sees a different world, it might juice the numbers in the short run but in the long run it breaks because it’s a betrayal of the premise.

This woman is mad because she is realizing that the social reality presented to her is, in some meaningful way, fake.
