@NatureMC What a lovely story about the volunteer guide -- that truly makes an experience special. I think we crave that, even if we do not know it.
And yes, you're right. The need to monetize everything because we need to survive means that we do often have to take the easiest, most profitable route. The book also talks about content creators who started out with their own style but had to adapt to changing algorithms in order to stay relevant and continue to make money.
But of course, to your point, everyone who works for the algorithms is really working for the people at the top. You used "erased" to describe what's happening to some culture, and that feels like a good word.
