Day Eight: Algorithms in Reselling Part 2



To dig a bit deeper into the discussion around algorithms in reselling, lets think about the connections these algorithms have to intersectionality.

Prior, we discussed intersectionality when thinking about labor, time and wellbeing. What are some connections between the algorithms in secondhand economies and your positionality?

Consider details related to these factors when thinking through this question:
    • what type of things you sell (and their affiliations with markers of class, race, gender, etc) and who consumes them
    • whether you use your body on your listings, pictures and posts
    • your business model.
    • information platforms may have collected/assumed about you
