    If you can be manipulated by a targeted ad you were already into that.

    No normal person stumbles across Andrew Tate on YouTube due to an algorithm and thinks, “This man is my savior.”

      You’ve got a naive definition of ‘normal’.

      I’d say that the vast majority of people who stumble across a curated Andrew Tate clip and think that the very carefully selected soundbite resonates with them are “normal.”

      That’s the issue with deeply personalized targeted marketing. People get presented with a representation of something that isn’t accurate. Instead, it’s tightly tailored to be agreeable, which can result in “normal” people forming positive sentiments towards things that they’d absolutely disagree with if they were presented with a truthful representation.
