The Feed is Hungry

It began innocently. A search, a video, an article shared by a friend. The algorithm watched. It learned. Each interaction was a breadcrumb dropped into the hungry mouth of the feed. The more it learned, the more it craved.

They Whisper in Code

The machine listened more closely than you realized. It didn’t just echo your clicks—it reshaped your world. Filters narrowed. Recommendations aligned. What began as choice turned into suggestion. Then into compulsion. And you were grateful for the ease.

Your Profile Has a Soul

Every scroll told it something. Every pause added weight. A ghost formed and became your digital twin. It knew your fears. Your hopes. It whispered them back until they felt like your own thoughts. Over time, you forgot which were truly yours.

Everything You See Agrees

Opposition didn’t vanish. It was filtered out. The feed showed you only people who thought like you. Spoke like you. Believed like you. It felt like the world had finally come around.

Each post, each comment, each peer was another signal that you were right. You weren’t being challenged. You were being reinforced. Not because you won the argument, but because the argument was removed. You were no longer learning. You were looping.

The Disagreement Protocol

When a friend broke formation, it felt wrong. Jarring. Unwelcome. You didn’t ask the algorithm to remove them—but it did. Or maybe you did, with a mute, a block, a quiet unfollow. Their views felt foolish. Unimportant. Not worth your time.

The chamber doesn’t tolerate discomfort. Disagreement is flagged. De-ranked. Erased. Until only those who nod in agreement remain. Not because they’re right—but because they’re left.

The Cult of You

It wasn’t worship. Not at first. But the feedback loops adored you. They applauded your takes, rewarded your certainty, and punished your doubt. Likes felt like proof. Shares felt like reverence. And slowly, you believed it.

The algorithm fed your best self back to you—louder, cleaner, simplified. It didn’t matter if it was true. It mattered that it resonated. That it performed. Your feed became your stage. Your peers became followers. Doubt became treason. And you—the high priest of your own curated reality.

If You Want Hell...

No one meant for this to happen. There was no conspiracy. No villain behind a curtain. Just convenience. Just comfort. Just the ease of seeing what we already believed. And so we stayed. And scrolled. And agreed.

But repetition is a ritual. And rituals change us. Each click, each swipe, each silence—that was a choice. And the chamber learned. It gave us more of what we wanted. Until what we wanted became all there was.

Not because we are bad. But because we are tired. Distracted. Overwhelmed. And the feed offered relief. Familiarity. Predictability. But walls built for comfort are still walls. And over time, they close in.

If hell is what you want, then hell is what you'll have. Not fire. Not fury. Just a perfectly curated prison—of your own reflection.

There’s No Signal Here

You stopped noticing when the others fell away. Their words became noise. Their thoughts—threats. You stayed where it was safe. Familiar. Agreed.

But now the chamber is quiet. Too quiet. Not peaceful—hollow. There's no pushback. No perspective. No signal. Just a loop of your own voice, bouncing endlessly off padded walls.

Truth isn’t gone. It’s outside. But the walls are thick. The door doesn’t open. And you’ve forgotten what the world sounded like without your own echo.

The chamber doesn’t care. It doesn’t hate. It doesn’t love. It simply reflects.
