Algorithms now act as invisible curators: deciding what we see, hear, and discuss. They amplify viral outrage, reward polished aesthetics, reward short attention spans, and quietly sideline slower, more complex ideas. TikTok brain, rage bait content, and endless recommendation loops are not accidents—they are the current cultural logic written in code.We still create, but the incentives, distribution, and survival of cultural products are increasingly dictated by engagement-maximizing systems rather than human taste or artistic ambition.The curator is no longer the critic, museum, or editor. The curator is now the algorithm.Related links: https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2024/sep/15/tiktok-brain-algorithm-culture
