   S3 E4 Media Theory: Thinking Through Algorithms

   In this episode, we explore how social media algorithms shape what we see, feel, and think online. Using Marshall McLuhan’s idea “The medium is the message,” we uncover how algorithms have become the most powerful influence of our time. From addictive feeds and reward loops to the Cambridge Analytica scandal, we reveal how these invisible systems influence attention, emotions, and even reality itself. Understanding algorithms is the first step toward using social media more consciously - instead of being shaped by it. This is the final episode of season 3, but you are welcome to join us again soon for TechBytes Season 4. To make sure you don't miss it, hit the follow button now!
