Every recommendation starts with data. Each video you click on, creator you follow, and topic you explore, teaches the recommendation system something new about you. As time goes on, these individual signals form patterns. The algorithm begins to predict what will catch your interest and gradually leans toward similar content, narrowing what shows up in your feed without you even realizing it.

This isn’t necessarily good or bad—it’s just how recommendation systems operate. By understanding these patterns, you can recognize when your feed is broadening, becoming repetitive, or veering off in a direction you didn’t consciously choose.

ALGO doesn’t dictate what you should watch. Instead, it helps you uncover the unseen forces that shape your recommendations, ensuring that your choices are intentional rather than automatic.
