This is interesting, The algorithm always wins in the end.

On the surface, it's like you have some control, but if you want to build that "shock factor" in real life, you have to use a limited set of language to get people to view or click your posts, and it is normally based on incorrect or twisted information.  The same thing happens in the game where you can only choose from limited options from a subset of viral language, normally with negative alignment, to "get" views and followers.  However, this subset is presented to you by the "algorithm" removing any real choice you might have had.

The crazy thing is that now we have AI generative chatbots, the sort of social media exploitation that was used by people to get quick reactions and views can now be used by businesses with these bots to basically say anything they want and influence public opinion.  A big example in the UK during Covid lockdowns was the suggestion that the new 5G phone masts were causing the virus, or that the vaccines were forcibly installing monitoring tech into our bodies that used 5G, while not done by businesses, it was done by organised groups that believed in the same principles whether they were correct or not, and they used social media to influence public opinion.  People literally started to burn down and destroy 5G phone masts when they had nothing to do with a viral outbreak, or the vaccines that helped to reduce the impact of the virus.

This was very  well done! I was actually wondering about the game mechanic the whole time I was playing. Atmosphere was well done and I like that there was a voice!

It looks nice, the micro-animations are pleasing. Toxicity in social networks is an interesting approach. However, there are inconsistencies between the cover and the game itself.
