It is very interesting what Ms Richardson said about the algorithm and feeding something to the top of it, because I had the most bizarre things coming up.

Obviously I was looking for it so the algorithm was then just feeding me any old deranged rubbish. I was thinking that this was clearly insanity but people were furiously retweeting it and believing it. Therefore, there is that idea of the trusted source and how that gets pushed if the algorithm is going to feed itself as the monster wants to do.
