The angry post — Algorithms · Media Detective
A post about a topic you care about makes you very angry. You feel like replying right now, and the feed is watching what you do.
Your task
Choose what to do at each step.
- Strong feelings are exactly what many feeds reward with more of the same.
- Every person, site, post and brand in this case is invented — a training simulation.
Score
- See the machine — You saw why the feed shows things.
- Take control — You used the controls you have.
- Look after yourself — You protected your time and mood.
In real life
Researchers have found that posts that stir strong emotion are often shared and shown more.
Algorithms
Every case is fictional: no real people, brands or schools. Nothing about you is collected — your progress stays on this device.
