i think with how the algo-net is these days, things are tailored to your reflection. u are presented with more of what u have already seen and "know." or at least what the algo thinks u think u resemble, which feedback loops into confirming what u think u think u know about yourself. the early net being more open and uncurated let u encounter things outside of your reflection more frequently
it's also a mirror in the sense that it has more irl ramifications. before, it was more of a separate world but now it's colonized and commodified by irl influences
