You think you're forming opinions? Nah. You're consuming a curated feed—tailored, repeated, emotionally charged. Scroll after scroll, click after click.
The scary part? Most people don't even realize it's happening.
But here's the twist: platforms like X still give us a fighting chance. A space where voices clash, where narratives get challenged, where the algorithm doesn't completely own your brain.
Yet.
So the real question is—are you actually thinking, or just reacting to what you've been spoon-fed?

You eat whatever the algorithm feeds you, yet you think you're thinking for yourself.

Alright, alright, say no more. I knew I was being fed crap a long time ago.

You're right, but what can I do? I'm just getting by here.

People on X aren't necessarily any more clear-headed, they're just better at fooling others.

Just asking this question means you've already lost.

Most people don't actually want to wake up; comfort is what matters most.

Forget it, let's just lie flat, everyone.

Who hasn't been manipulated before? You'll get used to it.

Algorithmic selection, we're all just those bugs, but we pretend to be thinking.

Wake up, you're not actually thinking, you're just being fed.

ngl I'm exactly the kind of person who just gets fed information and thinks I'm actually thinking, it's honestly a bit embarrassing.
You can definitely see more opposing viewpoints on X, but... are we really thinking, or just switching to a different feed and continuing to consume?
Algorithms are like invisible hands, leading your mind around, and you can't really wake up from it.
You're right, actually, no one is really thinking independently. We're all just spinning around in the echo chambers of social media.
Wake up call: your timeline isn't neutral.
