โ€œBuilt to Buy: How Algorithms Quietly Shape You Into Their Ideal Customerโ€ Most think algorithms just deliver content. But in reality, they also shape who you become as a consumer. Platforms like Instagram, YouTube, and TikTok donโ€™t just show what you likeโ€”they reinforce and evolve your interests. Watch two videos on fitness? Suddenly, youโ€™re being nudged toward supplements, gym gear, and a new identity: โ€œfitness enthusiast.โ€ The more you engage, the more the algorithm builds a version of youโ€”not just to entertain, but to sell. This turns passive users into predictable buyers. Youโ€™re not just discovering contentโ€ฆ content is silently training you to want things you never planned to want.
