I saw someone recently describe social media in its current state as a doomsday machine, and I think that's not far off. We've turned over our perception of what's real to algorithmically driven systems that are designed not to have humans in the loop, because if humans are in the loop they're not scalable and if they're not scalable they can't make tons and tons of money. https://news.slashdot.org/story/19/05/25/0117238/neal-stephenson-says-social-media-is-close-to-a-doomsday-machine doomsday
