I agree with your larger point, but I disagree in that I think "The Algorithm" does exist and has a mind of its own in the same sense of capital as a real god that occasionally gets floated around in spaces like this. In a sense you're right in that these sites are created by humans, but there are so many weird quirks that make the idea of it being ideologically driven kinda fall apart.

The most obvious example is the classic 'youtuber face'. There is no ideological reason for this to exist, but at one point someone found out you could get 16% more views if you had that face in the thumbnail and it has completely reshaped the landscape of youtube. In the same way that capital, to quote Marx, "becomes the operation of an entity outside man and above man," the "Algorithm" subsumes both those who use it and those who created it until they essentially become unthinking thralls of it (see Mr. Beast).

Idk there's probably a lot more that someone who's more well read on this topic than me could say, and maybe one day when I'm not just killing time at work I'll actually sit down and write a whole thing about it since I think a lot about this topic. There are definitely controls and levers that are pulled by both private and government interests, but I think outright dismissal of "The Algorithm" as its own "being" (for lack of a better term) is missing out on potentially insightful marxist analysis of the digital economy and how it relates to actual, tangible capital.

Coca-Colonialized is kinda a banger

When I want to rant I tell my friends to set a timer so I don't go off for too long
