Description:

Are social media algorithms controlling the narrative? We sit down with JonMark Baker from the Minor Prophets Podcast to unpack how social media algorithms are impacting our culture.

In this episode of Remnant Radio, we’ll take a closer look at how social media algorithms shape the presentation of content in the age of cancel culture. Together, we’ll consider why platforms like Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube tend to push material that reinforces perspectives and keeps users locked in echo chambers. We’ll also explore how media outlets are encouraged to produce stories that sensationalize or stir up anger and outrage in order to generate clicks, shares, and likes.

We'll examine what these algorithms are doing to society and how Christians can engage thoughtfully in a digital world.
