The 'For You' page is not an offer, it's a threat.

'For You' page is not a "timeline", it's an algo-line where time is dis/re-ordered. Time is air, your curated timeline is an atmosphere, the first precondition for an online 'you'. It's a virtual superstructure that allows 'waking life' to exist here.
The algo-line is a dream under an evil star, a kind of screen-induced dissociative state, an abaissement du niveau mental, the first precondition for mediumship.
The algo-line is a surveillance enclosure filled with the miasma of the Ganges, a rancid 'Slop Time.' In that atmosphere there is no structure, only the liquefaction of words and images, milk for the homunculus, mental colonization for everyone too stupid to click 'Following'
'For you' is not an offer, it's an answer to a question. You asked the machine, "What do I want?," the first question of life; the asking initiates living, the answer defines the organism. The app, addressing an undead thing, says, "You are an algo-favela golem. Eat the slop"
