How Netflix Picked Your Personality

  • Summary

  • From Amazon to Spotify to TikTok, the tech platforms we use tell us what to consume — and, increasingly, determine what gets made in the first place. On this week’s TLDR, we go deep into the history and nature of algorithms with New Yorker staff writer Kyle Chayka, author of Filterworld: How Algorithms Flattened Culture. Plus, we look at the changing nature of Google search and how Netflix’s “engagement machine” has come out on top — for now.

    This episode was hosted by Devin Friedman, business reporter Sarah Rieger and former hedgefunder Matthew Karasz. Follow us on other platforms, or subscribe to our weekly newsletter: linkin.bio/tldr
