About this listen
Digital platforms promised us personalization but their algorithms homogenized culture to a bland lowest common denominator instead.
They don’t just influence what we consume, they also determine what is produced as artists shape their output to fit what gets seen and what gets shared.
My guest today traced this creeping, machine-guided curation as it infiltrated the furthest reaches of our digital, physical, and psychological spaces. And he has a few ideas for escaping it that might surprise you.
Kyle Chayka joined me to talk about how digital algorithms work, why they flatten culture and how to take back control of our own taste.
