Because clearly, Facebook knows you better than your therapist
You talk about buying a new blender, and suddenly, your Instagram feed is full of blenders, smoothies, and that one weird ad for “Keto Avocado Powder.”
Coincidence?
Nah. Welcome to Machine Learning in Real Life, where algorithms:
- track you,
- tag you,
- recommend you things you didn’t know you wanted.
Let’s decode the ML-powered black magic behind the screen.
Here’s what Facebook (and its cousins) actually do:
Every move you make, every click you take… they’ll be watching you.
Facebook’s ML system collects:
- What posts you like 💙
- How long you linger 👀
- Which links you click 🖱️
- Who you argue with in the comments 😤
