The bubble feed — Algorithms · Media Detective
Nes watched three videos about one invented game, and now her whole feed is that game. Help her understand and take back control.
Your task
Choose what to do at each step.
- Recommendation algorithms show more of what you watched, which can shrink what you see into a 'bubble'.
- 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
Under the EU Digital Services Act, very large platforms must offer at least one feed option that isn't based on profiling, and explain their main recommendation criteria.
Algorithms
Every case is fictional: no real people, brands or schools. Nothing about you is collected — your progress stays on this device.
