[ SLANG ][ AI ][ SOCIAL MEDIA ]

A feedback loop in which a person's engagement with algorithmically-selected content trains the algorithm to serve more of the same, which further narrows and reinforces the person's own existing views or habits.

REAL-WORLD EXAMPLE

"Every video I get served just confirms the last video I watched until the whole feed is one increasingly narrow opinion."

LORE & ORIGIN

A core mechanism behind filter bubbles, named explicitly as 'algorithmic self reinforcement' around 2022-2023 to emphasize that the user's own behavior actively trains the loop rather than simply being a passive target of it.
