It is also quite ironic that nerds of the 21st century who built social media and a hyper-connected world are simultaneously repulsed by it.

It was built by nerds but optimized on the data of everyone, so it ended up appealing mostly to the average person.

Maybe that's also the solution to a question I've had for years. The ads I see on diverse social platforms are terrible, but if they are matched with algorithms that try to fit me in as an average person, then it makes sense that, as a huge nerd, they miss the mark.
