The Algorithm’s Game
"Ever notice how algorithms act like the elites of the platforms themselves? X, YouTube, Meta—it’s the same game. The algorithm decides who gets heard. The algorithm controls the flow. The algorithm punishes those who step out of line.
But the worst part? It conditions you.
Even if you never engaged in deception before, the algorithm forces you into it—because if you don’t play by its rules, you vanish. You have to exaggerate, have to optimize for engagement, have to twist your message just to be seen.
It makes honest people deceptive.
It turns truth into performance.
It rewards manipulation over authenticity.
That’s why instead of "Bitcoin’s Steady Growth in Adoption," YouTube pushes:
💥 "SHOCKING: Bitcoin to $1,000,000 TOMORROW? (Banks PANIC!)"
Just like fiat conditions people to chase inflation, debt, and endless consumption, social media conditions them to chase the algorithm.
The fiat system has rulers.
The digital world has algorithms.
Both operate in shadows, both manipulate, both control.
Bitcoin is the exit from fiat.
NOSTR is the exit from controlled speech.
The question is: When do people realize they’ve been trained?
