Algorithms are designed to show you endless content you like, making you scroll for hours without noticing.
Your feed isn’t random. It’s filled with content that reinforces what you already believe, limiting new perspectives.
The algorithm pushes engaging content—whether it’s true or not. That’s why sensational or controversial posts spread fast.
From uplifting videos to outrage-fueled posts, social media can influence your emotions without you realizing it.
Ever searched for something once and suddenly seen ads everywhere? Algorithms track your behavior to sell you more.

You think you’re exploring freely, but the algorithm is curating your experience based on what it wants you to see.
Likes, comments, and shares trigger dopamine, keeping you coming back for validation.
