DO YOU KNOW WHY GOOGLE SHOWS YOU
WHAT THEY SHOW YOU IN THEIR SEARCH ENGINE?

PLEASED

ACTUALLY NOT ONLY GOOGLE. BUT MOST GREAT PLATFORMS ARE DOING THEIR BEST TO PLEASE YOU AND LET THEIR ALGORITHMS DO THE JOB OF UNDERSTANDING WHAT YOU LIKE.

“GREAT SERVICE” “CONSUMER ORIENTED”
“INNOVATIVE”
![Page 10: Humanity vs. Algorithm - A world of misguided incentives](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022070302/547e659eb4795989508b4b55/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)

SO, WHAT DOES THIS LOVE BOMBING REALLY MEAN?
![Page 12: Humanity vs. Algorithm - A world of misguided incentives](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022070302/547e659eb4795989508b4b55/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
1 DECREASE FRICTION

POPULARITY RISES2

COMPETITION IS KILLED3
![Page 15: Humanity vs. Algorithm - A world of misguided incentives](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022070302/547e659eb4795989508b4b55/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)

BUT…
![Page 17: Humanity vs. Algorithm - A world of misguided incentives](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022070302/547e659eb4795989508b4b55/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
SOMETHING ISN’T
RIGHT…
![Page 18: Humanity vs. Algorithm - A world of misguided incentives](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022070302/547e659eb4795989508b4b55/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
IF WE ONLY SEE THINGS THAT WE LIKE, HOW WILL WE EVER LEARN TO SEE SOMETHING FROM A DIFFERENT
PERSPECTIVE?
![Page 19: Humanity vs. Algorithm - A world of misguided incentives](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022070302/547e659eb4795989508b4b55/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
AND IF SO..
![Page 20: Humanity vs. Algorithm - A world of misguided incentives](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022070302/547e659eb4795989508b4b55/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
ARE THE ALGORITHMS
FIGHT TO PLEASE, BECOMING A PROBLEM FOR HUMANITY?
![Page 21: Humanity vs. Algorithm - A world of misguided incentives](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022070302/547e659eb4795989508b4b55/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)

CAN THE “NON FRICTION WEB”, FRAGMENTED WEB ALSO BE THE
EXPLANATION FOR “ALTERNATIVE BELIEFS” LIKE…
![Page 23: Humanity vs. Algorithm - A world of misguided incentives](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022070302/547e659eb4795989508b4b55/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
![Page 24: Humanity vs. Algorithm - A world of misguided incentives](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022070302/547e659eb4795989508b4b55/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)

WHO CAN BLAME THEM, IF THEIR
BELIEFS ARE RECONFIRMED EVERYWHERE.
![Page 27: Humanity vs. Algorithm - A world of misguided incentives](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022070302/547e659eb4795989508b4b55/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
SO. I WANTED TO TEST IF THIS
WAS TRUE.
![Page 28: Humanity vs. Algorithm - A world of misguided incentives](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022070302/547e659eb4795989508b4b55/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
THE TEA PARTY TEST.
![Page 29: Humanity vs. Algorithm - A world of misguided incentives](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022070302/547e659eb4795989508b4b55/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
TEA PARTY TEST
• I selected 100 of my friends who are in the Tea party movement in the USA
• I have asked them to:
• Search for “Global warming”!
• Make a screen print of the first page and send it back
![Page 30: Humanity vs. Algorithm - A world of misguided incentives](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022070302/547e659eb4795989508b4b55/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
![Page 31: Humanity vs. Algorithm - A world of misguided incentives](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022070302/547e659eb4795989508b4b55/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
![Page 32: Humanity vs. Algorithm - A world of misguided incentives](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022070302/547e659eb4795989508b4b55/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
TEST IS BIAS AS HELL!!
![Page 33: Humanity vs. Algorithm - A world of misguided incentives](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022070302/547e659eb4795989508b4b55/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
BUT. IF IT IS SO.
THEN IS IT SO ODD THAT WE CANNOT GET
ALONG?
![Page 34: Humanity vs. Algorithm - A world of misguided incentives](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022070302/547e659eb4795989508b4b55/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
![Page 35: Humanity vs. Algorithm - A world of misguided incentives](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022070302/547e659eb4795989508b4b55/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
THIS IS NOT THAT ODD…
![Page 36: Humanity vs. Algorithm - A world of misguided incentives](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022070302/547e659eb4795989508b4b55/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
SO. WHAT SHALL WE DO?
![Page 37: Humanity vs. Algorithm - A world of misguided incentives](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022070302/547e659eb4795989508b4b55/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
F* IT! LET’S THINK BUSINESS!!
![Page 38: Humanity vs. Algorithm - A world of misguided incentives](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022070302/547e659eb4795989508b4b55/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
SELLING BEYOND THE ALREADY BLESSED
1. Self optimising ad systems work the same way as Google, Facebook & Twitter!
2. The fragmented web means we need to find ways to get our messages carried between nodes and clusters of users!
3. Mass marketing will be increasingly difficult as it will only show up to the clusters of people who's preferences it meets —> customers who already want your stuff
![Page 39: Humanity vs. Algorithm - A world of misguided incentives](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022070302/547e659eb4795989508b4b55/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
GETTING NON-ALGORITHMIC
1. You need to start thinking of spaces where your information is not being curated by like-loving-algorithms!
2. Such as the AFK environment!
3. Such as print marketing!
4. Such as outdoor & events
![Page 40: Humanity vs. Algorithm - A world of misguided incentives](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022070302/547e659eb4795989508b4b55/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
YOU NEED TO HAVE AN OPINION
1. Google, Facebook & Twitter will show users stuff based on who they are, what they believe - what they like!
2. IF you can target people based on beliefs, you can target the messaging of your content to fit the visitor it will appeal to!
3. This, naturally means that you have to have an opinion and a firm belief —> in order to meet them
![Page 41: Humanity vs. Algorithm - A world of misguided incentives](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022070302/547e659eb4795989508b4b55/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
OR!! maybe…
![Page 42: Humanity vs. Algorithm - A world of misguided incentives](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022070302/547e659eb4795989508b4b55/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
IF YOU GOT
BRAINS!!
![Page 43: Humanity vs. Algorithm - A world of misguided incentives](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022070302/547e659eb4795989508b4b55/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
THE FRAGMENTED WEB ALLOWS YOU TO HAVE SEVERAL
CONTRADICTING OPINIONS!!!
![Page 44: Humanity vs. Algorithm - A world of misguided incentives](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022070302/547e659eb4795989508b4b55/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
