so upset by the divide in common usage of "agorithm" (weighs stuff by popularity/similarity to what you've engaged with before) vs the actual definition of "algorithm" (a sequence of precise instructions to achieve a result)
#'a03 has no algorithm' WELL ACTUALLY#it has algorithms to find content with your desired parameters and sort them by your desired metric#but it doesnt have like#an algorithm to take what youve previously read and kudosed#and perform calculations on that plus popularity statistics to suggest a feed of fics#this is pointless grousing but i hate the way the internet bastardizes words#kat.txt
