The off-grid curator as the new elite is the most uncomfortable part of this piece and I mean that as a compliment. You're essentially describing taste resistance as a class position which means it's already replicable, already being performed, already becoming its own algorithm. Does opting out just become the next thing to optimize?
You're right, and it's uncomfortable. The second opting out becomes visible it becomes a performance of opting out which is just a different feed.
The only thing I'd add: the algorithm optimizes for you staying the same. Even performed resistance, if it's actually exposing you to things that don't fit your profile, still does something different. The outcome isn't identical even if the posture looks the same.
But yeah. The curator is already being curated. That's the honest answer.
Good insight 😃. Can i translate this article into Spanish with links to you?
Hi Roberto. Yes, you can. Please include link back to Perceptio and credit the original post 🙏
Of course, Kima.
