The Algorithm has been A Thing long enough to have impacted young adults during their formative years.

At 25 I'm barely old enough that I entered adolescence just as "youtuber" became a career for many people (around 2012ish). The Algorithm has been part of it all my teens though I witnessed it becoming increasingly eldritch throughout and teaching its final untethered form in the second half of the 2010s. Today's 20 year olds never knew anything else as they were 13 when elsagate was in full swing.

TL;DR how are your knees grandpa?
