Age of the Algorithm

Albeit very very long, this is a fantastic read about how algorithms are creating and influencing the type of content that used to be only be possible with the human brain - news, screen plays, and web articles. Algorithms, with its ability to calculate how lucrative certain words, phrases, or structure can be, are dictating what we consume.

I’m just hoping that consumers get more savvy and recognise the effort and importance of quality works by the creative industry. Or else, there goes my career in journalism.
