lol. Wait til they find out that algorithms work on popularity. Aka democracy.

The confusion of democracy with populism seems to be a trend over the past decade. Popularity is not democracy. In fact it’s often best if everyone is a little bit unhappy with whatever concession they are making.

How can you tell the difference in a democratic system between something being popular and it being democratic?

[blini-kot]

democracy is deliberate decision-making, not selection of something to force down based on popularity

That is really roundabout way of advocating for limiting the franchise.

Yes it is the deliberate mechanism of deciding by popularity.
