S4 Ep343: Recommendation Algorithms & Happy Tidbits For A Cheerful Day
Need a little pick-me-up? How about a tip on easily working out? Bethany’s insecure about how many rants she went on last week, so she’s making amends by talking about a few of the things that she loves right now! From spooky Instagram accounts to simple ways to get an ab workout, Bethany’s (mostly) a happy flower this week and is passing the savings on to you! Then, Kathleen is going to turn you into that “confused math lady” meme when she peels back the layers on social media and streaming algorithms. Do you TRULY love the things you love, or do you love them because an algorithm has DECIDED you’ll love them? Are we human, or are we dancers? Who was phone?
