It’s all an elaborate performance—flailing and pretending to care. Meanwhile, the algorithm is just there, staring blankly, ignoring the ruckus like a bodega cat that’s seen too much. It doesn’t give a shit about your content, your engagement, or whatever petty drama you’re peddling. It just exists, indifferent and mildly annoyed, while we all scramble for its attention. Corporate bodega cat—perfect analogy. The fuckin’ thing is basically paid to sleep on the job.
