## Resource

Everybody loves to say “the algorithm hates me.” We’re here to lovingly call that out. In this episode of The Social Circle, we break down what the algorithm actually does (spoiler: it has zero emotions) and what platforms really reward in 2026: retention, watch time, saves, shares, reposts, and comment conversations.
