Death To Algorithms: On the entertainment and matchmaking engines that rule our lives (LAUNCH DISCOUNT)
A thought-provoking and no-nonsense ebook that can be read over a few evenings about how recommender systems on streaming platforms, social media and dating apps have changed how we engage with art, the world around us, and each other.
For the price of a large coffee and a mineral water in Denmark, you can learn how:
- The attention economy threatens democracy
- Social media weaponizes entertainment
- Passive consumption is a key revenue driver for streaming platforms
- Dating apps profit from keeping people single
- Netflix devised one the first and most powerful entertainment engines in the world
- TikTok outcompeted Facebook by beating them at their own game
- Online dating degenerated from Match.com to Tinder to OnlyFans
- Policymakers in the US and the EU should respond to urgent challenges caused by recommendation algorithms
- It's all connected
- And much more
If you have even the faintest interest in how AI, Big Tech and digital platforms impact our societies and lives, I think you will absolutely love this book. In fact, I am so certain of it that I offer a 30-day money guarantee if you don't like it at all. No questions asked.
