[Hyperbolic]

Despite how much I dislike Facebook, this article started off decent, but took a strange (and disrepectful) turn into hacker culture and algorithms that was completely unfounded. Facebook addiction and the centralization of the Internet has literally nothing to do with the concept of algorithms. Sure, machine learning ventures at Facebook contribute to the need to track users and invade privacy, but that's not the fault of computer scientists working on these algorithms. That's the fault of Facebook's business model.

Its because its an excerpt from a book, I think. I totally agree, I'm on board with the point of the article but its written like an amateur Adam Curtis.
