#ALGORITHM

y’all NEED to stop saying tumblr doesn’t have an algorithm

This is an algorithm.

This is an algorithm.

This is an algorithm.

This is an algorithm.

This is an algorithm.

This is an algorithm.

This is an algorithm.

This is an algorithm.

If it has a “For You” page or a “trending” page, it has an algorithm. If it’s recommending posts/tags/accounts, it has an algorithm. If it has a search function, it has an algorithm.

Tumblr has an algorithm, and it uses it on practically every page.

I am mad about cellphone cameras hiding the processing they do, and I am glad about software that lets me control it and opt in and out, and I dictated this rant on insta so I am resharing the images here and will attempt to turn this into a useful text post on my blog in future, when my hand is working better 🤘👍

Hello dear friends! ❤🤍🖤💚

🍉I am Mahmoud Ayyad, a Palestinian from the besieged and destroyed Gaza 😭😭, coming from an extended family of young children, women and elderly people ❤❤ who have been suffering😭😭 for 300 difficult days from an aggressive war.

Our lives are harsh because we lack all the basic necessities of life. Everything has become scarce and unattainable. There is no food, no water, no medicine.

So, I ask you to help me keep my family safe and alive, especially after we had lost all our sources of livelihood.Please do not leave my family to struggle and suffer these difficult days alone. You can support my campaign by donating whatever you can or by sharing my posts to reach others who can help us survive the war to safety and peace. You are helping the lives of many people with your small contribution. Every donation makes a difference in our very difficult lives. But this is a legitimate campaign and has been checked by 90-ghost.

Social media is training you to be more impatient. For the sake of curating your algorithm as fast as possible + as accurately as possible. It wastes your time so you feel like you have no more time to waste dealing with people. It rewards your wasted time + impatience with a meme. You curate your feed so you only see what you want to see, until it becomes unbearable to be patient with the diversity of life + its circumstances.

On top of all that, you also expect it to adapt with you as you mature. As you have human thoughts + change your entire perspective in the blink of an eye. That’s not what the algorithm is trained to understand. The algorithm is trained to react with how you’ve been reacting to it your entire time on that app. It isn’t capable of understanding how people can change their minds.

tw: aftercare, anal fingering. (y'all I'm so proud I haven't uploaded in so long)

"it's okay... don't move kai." you muttered breathlessly as hakkai moaned into your shirt. "i c - can't!" he said shakily, your wet fingers pounding into him endlessly. before this, you two were just watching a movie in the theater as it was date night for you two.

he made a mistake, you two figured it out, and now here you are.

"I can't! I fuckiinggg....can't!" he screamed into the tear soaked pillow, cum splurging out of his sensitive, pretty pink cock. he gripped onto your hand for dear life, thrusting for release again. "Don't fight it, it's alright love." you whispered slowly, holding him up by the stomach so he wouldn't ride his pillow. you shushed him softly, and once he rode out his orgasm, you let him go. he fell to his stomach, panting heavily with his head tilted to the side.

"how's that sugar?" you said with a smile as he sat in the bath. he was still a bit shaky, so you had to be gentle with him. he opened his mouth to speak, his voice starting off shaky and hoarse. "m' alright...just s - sore." he leaned his head back slowly. you sighed, knowing you were too rough for his comfort. "I'm sorry sugar, I was too much tonight." you ran your thumb across his knuckles. he shook his head, holding your hand tighter. "no...it felt good." he smiled weakly, and your heart fluttered.

"that was all I needed to hear, thank you sugar. let's get you out and then we can go cuddle."

"Is social media designed to reward people for acting badly?

The answer is clearly yes, given that the reward structure on social media platforms relies on popularity, as indicated by the number of responses – likes and comments – a post receives from other users. Black-box algorithms then further amplify the spread of posts that have attracted attention.

Sharing widely read content, by itself, isn’t a problem. But it becomes a problem when attention-getting, controversial content is prioritized by design. Given the design of social media sites, users form habits to automatically share the most engaging information regardless of its accuracy and potential harm. Offensive statements, attacks on out groups and false news are amplified, and misinformation often spreads further and faster than the truth.

We are two social psychologists and a marketing scholar. Our research, presented at the 2023 Nobel Prize Summit, shows that social media actually has the ability to create user habits to share high-quality content. After a few tweaks to the reward structure of social media platforms, users begin to share information that is accurate and fact-based...

Re-targeting rewards

To investigate the effect of a new reward structure, we gave financial rewards to some users for sharing accurate content and not sharing misinformation. These financial rewards simulated the positive social feedback, such as likes, that users typically receive when they share content on platforms. In essence, we created a new reward structure based on accuracy instead of attention.

As on popular social media platforms, participants in our research learned what got rewarded by sharing information and observing the outcome, without being explicitly informed of the rewards beforehand. This means that the intervention did not change the users’ goals, just their online experiences. After the change in reward structure, participants shared significantly more content that was accurate. More remarkably, users continued to share accurate content even after we removed rewards for accuracy in a subsequent round of testing. These results show that users can be given incentives to share accurate information as a matter of habit.

A different group of users received rewards for sharing misinformation and for not sharing accurate content. Surprisingly, their sharing most resembled that of users who shared news as they normally would, without any financial reward. The striking similarity between these groups reveals that social media platforms encourage users to share attention-getting content that engages others at the expense of accuracy and safety...

Doing right and doing well

Our approach, using the existing rewards on social media to create incentives for accuracy, tackles misinformation spread without significantly disrupting the sites’ business model. This has the additional advantage of altering rewards instead of introducing content restrictions, which are often controversial and costly in financial and human terms.

Implementing our proposed reward system for news sharing carries minimal costs and can be easily integrated into existing platforms. The key idea is to provide users with rewards in the form of social recognition when they share accurate news content. This can be achieved by introducing response buttons to indicate trust and accuracy. By incorporating social recognition for accurate content, algorithms that amplify popular content can leverage crowdsourcing to identify and amplify truthful information.

Both sides of the political aisle now agree that social media has challenges, and our data pinpoints the root of the problem: the design of social media platforms."

"Hello, I am E'taf Al-Qataa,I'm from Gaza, Im34 years old ,I am a wife and a mother of five children. and I am communicating with you with a heavy heart and on behalf of my family, consisting of seven members, including 5 children. We were trapped in the devastating situation in Gaza. We were urgently seeking evacuation to Egypt after enduring more than 200 days of displacement and hardship. I seek to help them urgently and provide them with the minimum requirements. The occupation demolished our beautiful home and took my husband’s job and his car. I was displaced and was able to escape the scourge of war to Egypt, after fleeing to Deir al-Balah in Gaza and tasting the bitterness of displacement and losing a lot. Today, I find myself in a situation I never expected. The conflict in Gaza has left my family in desperate need of help. And here I did not find any money for the family’s expenses after the occupation managed to take away everything we had and we went back a lot. This war took our livelihoods and our factories, and we are struggling to survive."

@yosef-gaza is vetted, number 88 I believe(do correct me if I'm wrong)

I hope our humanity will unite, and we will come together to help them navigate this tragedy and help them rebuild their lives. Thank you for being so kind.
