About this listen

Vv Steele examines how recommendation algorithms are homogenizing global culture in this episode of Platform. From music production engineered for three-second hooks to the proliferation of identical aesthetics across social media, Steele analyzes how engagement-driven systems flatten artistic diversity, fuel radicalization pipelines, and eliminate serendipity. Drawing on cultural criticism and research through 2023, she argues that reclaiming intentional curation is the most radical act in 2026's algorithm-dominated landscape.
