Day Nine: Analyzing narratives around “The Algorithm”




This week, participants played the role of researcher by analyzing content created by a reseller for a reseller, about algorithms!  Watch the following video about beating the Facebook algorithm with an analytical eye.

Reflect about some of these questions about labor, time, intersectional and algoritgmic aspects of reselling.
  • what does this person mean by the “algorithm”?
  • what kinds of labor/time-use does his technique imply?
  • what seem to be some intersectional factors about the way he works as a reseller and with platforms?
  • what does this make your reflect about your own approach?
  • other interesting observations!
