    They don’t have to, algorithms do whatever they are designed to do. Long division is an algorithm.

    Profit motives are the issue here.

      Yeah, the narrowing of the word “algorithm” to only mean “social media recommendation algorithms” is getting on my nerves.

        I’ve always thought it was so funny when people say tHe aLgOrItHM like it’s a bad word or something. I know they mean social media & marketing, but it’s funny to think that they’re very concerned about something like bubble sort.
