I hate the internet.
...that's a lie. I love it, but I hate the algorithms.
That's also a lie... I love the algorithms.
I watched this video on the plane ride back from Nickelodeon Resort yesterday, and I have to say, it got me.
Hank's assessment of how the algorithms deployed by social networks come up short in actually giving us what we want is spot on.
It's why I love how many friends are spinning up their own newsletters. And this new newsletter was a no brainer instasubscribe.
Ever since my buddy Paul gifted me a premium subscription to Garbage Day, I've been a voracious newsletter subscriber. They do a great job of filling the void that Google Reader left in my life.1
This website has been my way of curating the internet, sharing things I've found that interest me, but maybe I should start a newsletter myself and do things in both places.
Should I tell my impostor syndrome to shove it and start my own newsletter, y'all?

I do need to find a way to get them out of my inbox, though. I really should move all my subscriptions into Feedbin so they show up in my RSS reader app. ↩
