    Twitter: Nothing outside my periphery matters, my personal values must always be the exact opposite of my enemies values or else i have failed, the world is my personal playground

    TikTok: Literally everything matters all the time, all at once, and it is my personal duty to constantly inform everyone of this like i'm a recognized public speaker

      This is absolutely the result of the algorithms

      Reddit creates advertising demographics by allowing people to self-organize around topics and brands.

      Twitter creates advertising demographics by empowering influencers to create spheres of influence.

      TikTok creates advertising demographics by allowing people to construct new identities and reinforcing the clusters that appear, almost like a match making system. The algorithm is like Twitter, but less hierarchical. Influencers and Influencees become one.
