    They are deployed to addict, there is some benefit to them, Google used one back before they dropped “Don’t be evil” to enhance the relevance of search results.

    Now they use it to censor, and sell shit, but it was not a bad technology before it was corrupted.

      There is a reason I specified algorithms that are designed to addict. Algorithms in general are not bad technology, but these specific ones are.
