Brilliant piece!! After years of being chronically online, I realized I was editing my personality to fit an algorithm instead of an audience. We’ve all been forced into this cookie-cutter era for too long, losing our true selves in the process. It’s heartbreaking to realize how much of our own uniqueness we’ve traded just to be manageable for the internet. Let's stop trying to be recognizable to the masses and start being true to ourselves.
Thank you so much, this really means a lot. I love the way you put that - editing our personalities to fit the algorithm instead of an audience. That tension has been on my mind a lot lately. It feels like reclaiming specificity is almost a small act of resistance now.
