33: TikTok Tarot & the Algorithm

Mysticism meets data science in this week’s episode, where we unwrap Spotify Wrapped and talk way more about auras than we needed to. Also, if the algorithm suggested this episode to you — great news for recursion fans, we talk about the algorithm. And last, weird news for money fans, Mr. Beast is throwing lots of it away, cause that’s what the content machine craves — not you though, YOU want to listen to this episode.   Show Notes Mystic Michaela: https://newsroom.spotify.com/2021-12-01/learn-more-about-the-audio-aura-in-your-spotify-2021-wrapped-with-aura-reader-mystic-michaela/ Brand cocoon: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rPHK494AUxE Amanda’s MrBeast/Squid Game article: https://techcrunch.com/2021/12/03/mrbeast-squid-game-creator-economy-viral/ Isabel is on a cool list: https://www.tor.com/2021/12/14/must-read-speculative-short-fiction-for-november-2021/   Find Us Online  Twitter: https://twitter.com/wowiftruepod Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/wowiftrue Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/wowiftrue Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/wowiftrue Website: https://wowiftrue.com/Email: [email protected]   About Us  Wow If True was created by Isabel J.
