We are fighting against algorithms

We are fighting against political propaganda and emotional manipulation

But the most crucial point is——

We are fighting against ourselves

Think about it, can one hundred thousand commentators change the platform's recommendation logic? Maybe not. But every day we argue, clash, repost, and complain—all of this is feeding a certain system. The problem has never been just on the technical side; we ourselves are part of the ecosystem. It's time to stop and think about who we are really working hard for.

Come on, basically we're all just working for the platform. It's true, but who has really stopped to think about it? Every day cursing the algorithm for manipulating us, then turning around to argue back—so ironic. This is something even Web3 can't save; it's exhausting.

Tsk, that hits too close to home. We've really been feeding that monster ourselves. Arguing, sharing, complaining every day—all of it helps the platform make money. Stop and think about it—it's a bit terrifying. Everyone knows that we ourselves are the product, but no one stops.

We are just providing free labor for the platform, and we even think we're "expressing" ourselves. LOL

Forget it, we all know what we're doing, still pretending to be innocent here --- Arguing every day is just prolonging the life of capital, we're all free labor --- Stop and think? Bro, you can't stop --- The harshest part is that we actually enjoy the process, honestly we have no intention to change --- Ten thousand comments won't change the algorithm, but they can change our minds, as long as the platform wants --- The phrase "We are part of the ecosystem" is brilliant; we are both victims and accomplices --- Who are we working hard for? It's just for that little thrill of interaction, more addictive than anything else --- Wake up, everyone, every second you're in the feed, you're being harvested

It's not the algorithm manipulating us, it's our own fingers We're being fed every day without even realizing it, that's the real pain So, are we all just workers for that system? Stop talking nonsense, you can't stop The biggest enemy is ourselves, honestly
