I have a Facebook Friend I frequently exchange comments with, Unfortunately, he is young enough not to know that the music died around 1970. Yesterday he posted about two postmusical groups he particularly dislikes, and Facebook’s artificial “intelligence” assumed I wanted to discuss that and showed it to me as the very first post at least half a dozen times. Another friend started an interesting discussion, and when I searched on her name, it assumed that I first wanted to see all of her posts I hadn’t seen yet. Thus I am not surprised that some people resort to complex strategies.
