Death to Algorithms: How Big Tech is Hijacking Your Mind - Tobias Mark Jensen

Описание: Do you feel like you are stuck in an endless scroll, mindlessly consuming content, or burning out on dating apps that never lead to real connection?

Tobias Mark Jensen, a legal technology expert and author of Death to Algorithms, joins the show to expose the invisible forces shaping our daily lives. He breaks down how the algorithms we trust for entertainment, romance, and information are fundamentally failing us by prioritizing corporate profit over human well-being.

This episode dives into the FailCraft theme of examining the broken systems in our culture. Tobias explains why so many modern Netflix movies feel like they were written by ChatGPT, the exhausting reality of trying to be an indie author in an algorithmic world, and why reclaiming your agency starts with leaving your phone at home.

In this episode of FailCraft, you’ll discover:

The Attention Economy: Why algorithms are designed to hijack your mental health for profit.

The Netflix Problem: How data-driven content is creating hollow, uninteresting art.

The struggle of self-publishing and why Tobias refuses to "sell out" to social media marketing.

Reclaiming Your Agency: Practical steps for a digital detox and escaping the dating app loop.

The "Danish Dream": How Denmark's definition of success differs from the American hustle.

Tobias's definition of true success: Challenging the common narrative and making a real impact.

This episode is for anyone feeling exhausted by social media, struggling with screen addiction, or looking to reclaim their time and humanity from Big Tech.
