Kelsey D. Altherton's tweet from 2019 stuck with me. I love his sarcasm and point of view with structural problems. I'm tying my own experience with these types of dumb views on structural problems vs personal issues. I grew up in a low income family where my family worked in agriculture, with very very little pay. Where raises were non existent in this workforce despite living in this world of rising prices with anything imaginable. So it was very difficult for groceries, mortgage, taxes, insurance, bills, etc. So I agree with Kelsey, it's definitely not a personal issue nor can it be fixed through the individual.

My experience with this explanation of what algorithms can do is exactly this. I know with snapchat specifically, I have watched their recommendation algorithm grow significantly over the years. Their saved gallery section now has "x year(s) ago today" which is awesome- I like the recommendation algorithm snapchat has going. Now with instagram, they have something similar but that idea did come off snapchats algorithm,

This reading of "Private message" lets the reader (me) know what private messaging is which is in turn, a form of private communication. They go on by explaining the two different types of private messages. The first one being IRCs which are through apps like facebook or instagram. This means that these messages are not the main thing occurring on the app. Since posting is the main thing occurring. The second one is PMs which is through apps like WhatsApp and kik. This is where the messages are occurring through apps that are specifically made to direct message one another

Relating back to this, I agree but also think most of your privacy gets taken away when you enter social media platforms. From what I have seen, people who post lifestyle content usually always get doxed by a random unemployed person who has too much time on their hands and slows every part of the video down until they find what they need. So I think we lose our privacy both to the media platforms and to the people online

I think there comes an age where you realize and learn what is okay and what is not okay. I have personally said dumb ignorant things as a kid so I relate to this post, although it was never anything like what he stated. However, sometime into your teenage years you are self aware and have learned enough to know what's wrong and what's right. So after those years of life, jokes like the one the "comedian" made are not okay and harmful to others.

Drawing on my personal experience from a couple of years ago, I would definitely agree that the goal is to provoke negative emotions. When I was in high school, there was this fake account that frequently negatively commented under my posts, causing me emotional pain. Moreover, I know that was their intention because they always talked about my looks in a horrible way.
