āflanderization is a trope involving exaggerating a single trait of a character to the point where it completely consumes the character.ā im starting to see this in social media too!! i feel like algorithms can end up dampening peopleās personalities or reducing people to one thing a tiktoker ends up doing their signature dance in every single video cos thats what will get them likes or an X account will rage bait about one topic as thatās what gets them engagement and $$$ many creators can end up becoming a caricature of themselves as they are mainly existing online to feed the algorithm kinda like ānichingā down to the point where the person is lost completely i have been SO guilty of this as i am a people pleaser who is trying to stop being a people pleaser haha now i am trying to post in a way which reflects more elements of my personality and interests not just the ones i assume people/ algo will find interesting so bare with me as i try to show up more as āmeā

thankyou for reading, its such an easy trap to get sucked into im trying to unlearn it but its so ingrainedš especially as an athlete on instagram most people would only engage with my jump content so i didnt share anythinggg else and i found myself started to do that on here aswell
