You're listening to the Todd and Tyler Radio Empire.

Brandon writes on 43 young enough who have grown up as a very young adult at the inception of social media.

I grew up in my teens with the internet.

The social media we started with way different than the social media, say, post-2010.

The inception of the algorithm is the problem.

Well, the algorithm gets incorporated into social media, so I don't think one exists without the other.

It's designed to get you, and he's right about this, hate engage.

And if you look at any, oh, the dumbest people in the world congregate that local TV news comments.

Yeah, I don't look at somebody who posts something, you know, positive about Robert E. Lee was the greatest thing. And if you check out their profile, they don't have a profile. It's just some Russian bot. There's a lot of bots. Tossing stuff out there that they know that you will engage in. Right. And once you're engaged, you get sucked in. Then you go get into that, you know, the cycle of the, you know, let's throw some more hate stuff. Yeah, because anything you engage with, it feeds you more of. Yep. Yep. The must love is robot bots, too, you're right. To hate engage and you're showing what you hate because they know they can get you to reply and interact and engage and see all the ads, generate revenue, blah, blah, blah.

Every five years or so, I delete Facebook and recreate it because it breaks the algorithm cycle.

That's probably not a bad idea.

I can't imagine the garbage that people get if they've had Facebook since it started.

I can show you.

Yeah.

Well, that's the unofficial page. That kind of stuff. I've managed to weed out a lot of stuff. Yeah, my personal page is actually pretty good now. I can show you the long list of people I've unfollowed. Oh, yeah. Oh, I have to go to that sometimes. Unfollowed or blocked, you know. Oh, I go to the unfollow list and say, I don't know that person. So just unfriend them. Yeah, that's true, too. Yeah. I mean, if I've lived without seeing their post for this long, obviously, I can do without them. Yeah. That's not a bad idea. Yeah, anymore, I don't know how you separate social media from the algorithm. That's what it fuels the whole thing.

I don't know if there was necessarily an algorithm like when MySpace came around.

God.

Right.

Yeah.

In early Facebook?

We do like OnlyFans, though.

So a lot of music chicks are starting to do this because nobody's making any money selling records anymore, right?
