    Just saying, the author blames corporate internet and the algorithm that feed you content, but if you browse 2 articles before (this one: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;alicegg.tech&#x2F;2026&#x2F;06&#x2F;12&#x2F;popular-upcoming" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;alicegg.tech&#x2F;2026&#x2F;06&#x2F;12&#x2F;popular-upcoming) he then praised steam for removing the “upcoming game list” that was purely based on the number of wishlist a game received and is praising the new algorithmic personalized calendar of upcoming “for you”. I find it a bit hypocritical.

    People use these algorithms because they love them, and yeah someone posting once every 1 or 2 month is not going to make it in these days and ages. I don’t think the internet became worst, it just adapted to other needs.
