Trump did deserve his presidency. America would have been worse under progressive leadership. It's high time to address social problems.

I was always worried about this where everyone would be isolated into information bubbles. And this would lead into people becoming ignorant despite doing a tremendous amount of research, or not able to find an outside viewpoint. Whats worse is that this system creates a massive echo chamber among people with overlapping filter bubbles.
I have strongly thought that this is the main reason why we are in this huge divide between people's ideologies.
What makes me even more paranoid, is that this filter bubble can be intentionally manipulated to slowly change a person's point of view. My paranoia has been fueled even more when I begin to feel like I am somewhat part of a hive mind of trends. First I think I independently get into something, but then I notice that many other people fall into the same trend at the same time.
For example: In late January of 2017 I decide to give the music genre Vocaloid a second chance. I end up listening to a lot of music and download a lot of fan art. But I notice that a ton of new songs where released aproximently when I came back into the genere. And Artists who haven't drawn a vocaloid in years now are suddenly drawing vocaloids. -

This is why Trump is likely to be the next president of the US.
This is why radicalisation all over the world has increased enormously in the last ten years: in Europe, Northamerica, the Middle East and even in Asia. -

This is a disturbing trend in the "legacy" media's quest to try to maintain ad revenues.

this is a pretty rosy view all in all. as if actual censorship and manipulation didn't come into this as well.
still appreciate it as a beginners piece of getting attention drawn to this. -
Awesome

I think this is why there's an increasing divide in our politics. Everyone is spending more time online, and they're spending more time in their bubbles of news that cater to their opinions. People become more opinionated and emotional when they're met with someone who doesn't agree with them on a more mainstream platform (like YouTube), and people viciously fight, then retreat back into their news bubbles, and the cycle repeats itself. Google is doing this knowingly, but I can't place my finger as to why they are. This is what happens when you have customers (in this case, advertisers) who are fighting for the spot on the front page of a Google search, I guess. In the case of Facebook, I guess that explains why they were valued so high during their IPO. Advertisers and sellers of products want Facebook to find their markets for them. They want to sell things to their customers - customers who are people who might not even be aware themselves that they are a customer of so-and-so company. Same thing for YouTube.
All of this is a result of greed for user information and advertisers selling and Google/Facebook selling that ad space. -
Why would curated filtering even be a thing in the first place? The internet isn't primarily for entertainment. Or at least it shouldn't be... I could see something like this being necessarily for YouTube (maybe), but not Google's search engine. Google says "don't be evil"... yet this is one of the most evil things you could do.

so what is the point of free speech if what you say will never be heard? I guess it doesn't apply to THEIR media.

http://www.ted.com As web companies strive to tailor their services (including news and search results) to our personal tastes, there's a dangerous unintended consequence: We get trapped in a "filter bubble" and don't get exposed to information that could challenge or broaden our worldview. Eli Pariser argues powerfully that this will ultimately prove to be bad for us and bad for democracy. Read our community Q&A with Eli (featuring 10 ways to turn off the filter bubble): http://on.ted.com/PariserQA
