And it's the Algorithms

The algorithms are in charge. Not our human preference.
Any post with my face gets likes(like 20 the first day and more each day, this is a new phenomenon).
As far as I know y'all like my yard and nature pics as much or more than my face. Evidently the algorithms don't feel the same.

I noticed a distinct change in the amount of likes certain posts get lately and I must say it's obviously artificial and unnerving.

And disappointing, when I posted my pick up truck loaded with eight certain household fixtures only a handful noticed 😢. That load of household fixtures was important to me and I wanted to share it for the chuckle factor and as communication update in picture form of a certain situation my fb friends had been aware of.

Disturbing and unnerving. I saw a woman post recently in a group that her family and friends are liking her stuff noticibely more and attributed it to her own actions and situation in her life. Sorry sis, it's the algorithms, try posting a truckload of toilets and see how many likes you get.

Disturbing and unnerving the machine is cherry picking our posts.  Cherry picking our minds and planting seeds and sproutlings of ideas that serve it purpose.
Whose cattle are we any way?
Live free. Love pervasively. Stay awake. 💖✨💫🛸
