Some of the best examples are too sensitive to share on this forum. Other things get flagged and reported. Some new topics/sources that squeeze by invite the bots.

The best arguments for Google's algorithms making people crazy for lay people would be Aaron Swartz like individuals who just go unknown.

I can think of atleast 4 individuals new to me the last 6mo ive discovered who used to cover court cases, ran NGOs, or worked as journalists that have been seemingly swept up in what looks like delusions.

Lots of typos, egegious oversights, etc#. Its hard to personify these individuals as theyre hard to reach and anyone w ptsd or whom knows people w ptsd know how hard it is to provide support to someone locked in a fight-or-flight reflex. After a terror/fear/paranoia becomes familiar anything else feels foreign. Human connection becomes scary.

Read up on bateson-esque schizomogenisis and reflect on the CIAs relation with the "unabomber".

What you’re describing sounds uncannily like the effects of Snow Crash.
