Who’s Really Shaping Our Taste? 

YouTube’s new “Inspiration” feature is making content creation feel more like an assembly line than an art form. It tells you what’s trending, suggests video ideas, and even generates titles and thumbnails. But if everyone is making content based on what the algorithm wants, are we really choosing what we like—or are we just being fed what’s most profitable?

In this episode, I dive into the influence of algorithms on creativity, why truly original ideas struggle to gain traction, and how we can break free from the cycle of chasing trends. Are we shaping our own taste, or are we just part of the machine? Let’s talk about it.
