It's a fascinating thought that so much of all online content is created for the consumption of bots instead of humans. Because the bots are the gatekeepers to what gets shown to real humans, the bots need to be pleased first.
Ironic, right? Given that the web once was touted as the place of meritocracy where you don’t have any of those evil gatekeepers as you had in print or television. Now those gatekeepers are algorithms deployed by monopolies. Gatekeeper Hell 2.0.
