An algorithm is just a logical procedure or a set of rules. So, that already qualifies as an algo.

I'll take your word for it but that is how we're communicating the features. Just better to ditch these terms and make it very easy for anyone to understand why they're seeing the content that they're seeing when scrolling on social media.
Yeah, I just find it weird when software engineers attempt to demonize software engineering, as if it were a dark art.
People hear "algo" and freak out, but it's the basic building block of software programs. An application is literally only data and algos. 🤷🏻♀️ That's what software _is_ and removing too much algo leaves the user staring at an endless feed of Odell saying GM.
😅 I hear exactly what you're saying.
The problem with big tech platforms is not that they have too many algos, but too few.
I took a very basic CS class once upon a time, which of course had nothing to do with social media or anything, and the prof always said above all he was hoping we’d learn “algorithmic thinking”
As in like purely logical, possibly mathematical, loopish, if-then sort of stuff
