I was scrolling through "how to explain Elden Ring to friends" memes on TikTok, and the algorithm showed me this video. On one hand, this was a weird "the app is definitely spying on me through my phone" moment. On the other hand, I'm really touched. I was actually thinking about deleting this story from AO3 because its numbers are so low, so it's nice to know that it means something to someone. Much love to this gentleman and his excellent taste in Elden Ring crackships.

Date: 2024-07-23 05:11 pm (UTC)I will be honest, though. It was deeply uncanny to be shown this. I don't think TikTok's algorithm differentiates between content that's "positive" or "negative," and I'm keeping my fingers crossed that lingering on this video won't end up plunging me into fandom discourse. 🫠
Maybe the take-away point, at least for me, as that I appreciate AO3 all the more for not having an algorithm.
