Host Ryan Cole examines how social media algorithms intentionally maximize engagement through emotional manipulation, particularly outrage. Drawing on MIT research and Frances Haugen's Facebook disclosures, he explains how recommendation engines create addiction through dopamine exploitation and echo chambers. The episode explores potential solutions including EU transparency mandates, Bluesky's customizable feeds, and fundamental business model reform, arguing platforms' harm isn't accidental but core to their advertising-driven design.
