“flanderization is a trope involving exaggerating a single trait of a character to the point where it completely consumes the character.”

im starting to see this in social media too!!

i feel like algorithms can end up dampening people’s 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 that’s 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 “niching” 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 “me”

hi im naomi i’m an athlete and creator!

join /actrackclub for fitness and /gmatcha for vibes

Best way to go. He you and get whatever you brings to the table. You will always find folks like you and algo or no algo, it will count for something in the long run. Our inner peace matters.
