I just read something about some fanfic readers on TikTok, mostly younger ones, are against AO3 because it doesn’t recommend fic to them. As in, it doesn’t track them and auto-feed them content using an algorithm.
I am sure it’s not every younger fanfiction-reading nerd. But….
The generational divide between old internet and new internet users is so stark sometimes. Like. That younger people don’t remember the individual fanfiction websites days… okay. I get that. Some of them weren’t even born and time is time and it moves on. It’s fine.
But to grow up with an internet where you do not get a choice, or not much of a choice, except to be fed content? Oh wow that’s a yikes I’ve never thought about before.
Yeah, there’s some filter capabilities but companies override that all the time with subtle little changes. Youtube recommends stuff constantly (often conservative videos even to me who has no history of watching or liking that shit). Twitter and Facebook got rid of chronological posts and even when you try to get rid of suggested posts, they come back. Instagram is basically all ads now. And then TikTok literally doesn’t even ask you to search (and as I recall, their search function sucks), and you can like videos to change what you see *a little* but ultimately the algorithm will lead you wherever it wants.
That’s so sad to grow up with that. Choice and searching and relying on your judgment and the recommendations of people you like… those are good things.
I am not like “oh those youths!” here. I am “fuck these corporations!” here. Look at this shit. It’s not a rec list from someone you like and trust–it’s what corporate has decided you should like. And a lot of these kids have not known anything else. That’s scary and infuriating.
