1) Yes why would you assume a a GenX would not know how to navigate algorithmic filter bubbles?

2) The low quality content on the fyp is actually representative of the state of affairs for many youth. Media and data literacy is not a strong point of GenZ. The amount of ridiculous conspiracy theories(both left and right) going viral is a parallel universe of the infamous boomer political chain emails.

1) you can know how to navigate filter bubbles but the moment you do, you’ll be shoehorned into things that interest you. Which is how it works. Which is fine, but it’s a bad tool to discover things you aren’t interested in.

2) this is the kid of comment that makes me feel more confident. Like… shut up. No, you won’t better understand the youth by ingesting garbage and calling them media illiterates just talk to people and ask questions.
