Streaming platforms and social media use algorithms to recommend content.
At first, this seems helpful.
You see things you’re likely to enjoy.
But over time, this creates a filter.
You’re shown similar types of content repeatedly.
This limits exposure to new ideas or different perspectives.
Your preferences become narrower.
This is known as a feedback loop.
The more you watch something, the more similar content you receive.
Breaking this pattern requires intention.
Actively choosing different types of content expands your experience.
Because if you don’t choose what you watch, something else will choose for you.
