[quote=Anonymous]What's happening is, you clicked or even just lingered too long on a social media post about drowning, and now they know that engages you, and so you see every single report of drowning. So you think there are more drownings and that it's a problem and that makes you even MORE likely to engage with those stories. There aren't actually more drownings; I haven't seen any increase in coverage of drownings in my media ecosystem. It's just what your tailored feeds are showing you. This is exactly, by the way, why so many boomers are terrified of crime and think that cities are crime ridden. Because they engage with those stories and so they get more of them. It has absolutely no relation to how much crime there is. [/quote]
