This is almost becoming my pet project, but I think a lot of it can be attributed to a sort of fundamental irrationality in “the algorithm” that is self-reinforcing. Especially since this trend came from Tik Tok, which has refined its algorithm to a T.
Like at some point an algorithm saw that people stayed .05 seconds longer on Tik Toks with “POV” in the title, and they started pushing those videos to peoples pages. And then some people saw that videos with POV in the title get 20% more views and start putting POV in all their titles no matter the relevance, and the algorithm picks that up, etc etc.

Would he get that type of dap if his name was Woody Black?
Hell yeah (I am extremely white)
Don’t disrespect Ron Artest/Metta World Peace/The Panda’s Friend like that
Trump promised him he could be the ambassador to Slovenia
He wasn’t fired from his job as Chipotle CEO, he was hired away by Starbucks basically by giving him a shitload of power. He’s generally seen as one of the best CEOs right now (best here meaning most bloodless ofc).

I agree with your larger point, but I disagree in that I think “The Algorithm” does exist and has a mind of its own in the same sense of capital as a real god that occasionally gets floated around in spaces like this. In a sense you’re right in that these sites are created by humans, but there are so many weird quirks that make the idea of it being ideologically driven kinda fall apart.
The most obvious example is the classic ‘youtuber face’. There is no ideological reason for this to exist, but at one point someone found out you could get 16% more views if you had that face in the thumbnail and it has completely reshaped the landscape of youtube. In the same way that capital, to quote Marx, “becomes the operation of an entity outside man and above man,” the “Algorithm” subsumes both those who use it and those who created it until they essentially become unthinking thralls of it (see Mr. Beast).
Idk there’s probably a lot more that someone who’s more well read on this topic than me could say, and maybe one day when I’m not just killing time at work I’ll actually sit down and write a whole thing about it since I think a lot about this topic. There are definitely controls and levers that are pulled by both private and government interests, but I think outright dismissal of “The Algorithm” as its own “being” (for lack of a better term) is missing out on potentially insightful marxist analysis of the digital economy and how it relates to actual, tangible capital.
