## Content

The Content Algorithm Maze Imagine you are in a maze. The contents in the next room are decided by the things you looked at most in the current room. You enter the first room. There are 100 people here. 1 of them is screaming for 5 minutes straight. You can't help but look. The maze decides you like screaming people. You enter the second room. There are 100 people here. 3 of them are screaming now. How can you avoid paying attention? Before long, you're in a room with 100 screaming people. You start believing that noise and anger is all there is in the world. No one is ever silent or talks. Why should you? That's social media.
