Algorithms are killing the magic of serendipity in travel.
Recommended routes, “top 10” lists, and personalized feeds push us toward the same hotspots, same cafés, same photo spots.
The hidden alley, the random local festival, the wrong bus that turns into rare accidents instead of everyday gifts.
We traded wandering for optimization, surprise for efficiency.
True discovery now feels like fighting the algorithm instead of walking out the door.https://www.theguardian.com/travel/2024/jan/15/how-algorithms-are-ruining-our-holidays
