Continued thread

2/2
okey abseits der Frage, ob Behörden #algorithms zur Bewertung/Entscheidungsfindung einsetzen sollten, finde ich die Frage, ob "personalisierte Preise" *an sich* sinnvoll/gut/schlecht/falsch sind, spannend.
Die progressive Besteuerung von Einkommen geht schon in die Richtung, orientiert sich aber nur an einem bzw. wenigen Faktoren. (... und ist kritikwürdig)

Das Problem sehe ich nicht primär in unterschiedlichen Preisen für ein und das selbe Gut (obwohl das auch schon absurd ist)
sondern
in der Festlegung und Gewichtung der Kriterien.
Wer entscheidet auf welcher Informationsgrundlage, ob ich 7% oder 70% Rabatt bekomme?

Was denkst du?

David's article really resonated with me because I've been thinking for a long while now to create a newsletter (or three) to surface barely heard voices.

On Substack, for example, the voices I hear are overwhelmingly from the United States, and it is incredibly hard to find voices from Asia and South-East Asia. It's a source of huge frustration for me because the most common narratives about my part of the world is from the United States, and a lot of times these narratives are distorted, skewed to American values and is not what is really happening in my region. Yet, when I try to speak up on Substack, I never get seen as the algorithm is prioritising US voices and Substacks. Worse, they are also boosting only popular ones, which means the most popular narrative is the loudest.

I have occasionally shared links to South-East Asian Substacks and blogs, and each time I do, I get messages of gratitude. However, I still wondered if my tiny act of rebellion would do anything to move the needle in terms of being heard in an English-speaking Internet overwhelmed by Western voices and narratives.

David's post reminded me that yes, I should put in some effort to help surface more unknown corners of the Internet. Maybe we won't get rid of the algorithmic complacency sweeping society now, but at least we'll do some tiny thing to help create a messy but human algorithm instead.
