Algorithm paranoia

🌀 Strange Moment on TikTok ..
I was scrolling endlessly — like we all do — and thinking, “Isn’t it weird that I rarely get horror content on my feed? I run a horror site, after all.”

Literally the exact second I thought that, this video popped up. Not a horror topic, but the word “horror” is right there on the screen. It was the exact moment..

Coincidence? Probably.
Creepy? Definitely.
Is the algorithm reading my thoughts… or something else?

Because here’s the thing: maybe TikTok’s algorithm isn’t just reflecting our thoughts — maybe it’s shaping them. Maybe it’s not listening, but leading. These systems might not just detect what we’re thinking… they might predict when we’ll think it. They could even time our feeds to deliver content at the exact moment our minds are primed to receive it. Whether that’s advanced psychology or digital sorcery, I’ll let you decide.
