The Algorithm

I want to switch our app from chronological display to use an algorithm.

Are you sure? Users of other platforms have become upset when an algorithm started picking things for them. They just want to see posts in order.

Algorithms are the thing now. Just create an algorithm that people will like. The best algorithm!

Sort all posts by time is technically an algorithm.

The best algorithm.

An algorithm is a process or set of rules to be followed in calculations or other problem-solving operations - it doesn't have to be complicated.

Some of you may be old enough to remember, as I am, a time when Facebook, Twitter, etc. just showed you posts in the order that they happened. But there's no money in that, so now you see what an algorithm wants you to see.

Depending on when you read this, the comic may not appear in chronological order. An algorithm will reorder the cells in order of most to least popular, based on reader votes. Click on the thumbs-up or thumbs-down icons on each cell to vote.
