Exploring the Impact of Algorithms on Culture

The chapter features a discussion between the podcast host and a special guest who recently released a book called Filter World, delving into how algorithms have influenced cultural consumption. They reflect on the personal experiences and frustrations faced as creators in an algorithm-driven society, touching on topics like filter bubbles, loss of personal curation, and the shift in cultural distribution from human gatekeepers to algorithmic feeds.
