"The Filter Bubble"

[hotttshot34]

Definition of "The Filter Bubble"- Websites that use algorithms to selectively guess what information a user would like to see, based on information about the user (such as location, past click behaviour and search history). As a result, websites tend to show only information which agrees with the user's past viewpoint, effectively isolating the user in a bubble that tends to exclude contrary information.

NT, you guys agree to this?

This has been going on for a while

For example I go to Banana Republic.com to buy a shirt
Niketalk sure as hell will have a BR advertisement on top promoting a new sale/promo code


It's a good and bad thing because now ads are relevant to me - but unfortunately ads are still ads

i hate this it hinders the internet for what it really is

instead of us discovering things this feeds us what we "want"
