What Does This Mean?
The gradual, system-level shift in what a recommendation algorithm favors over time, often invisible to any single user but detectable in aggregate as entire categories of content quietly rise or fall in distribution.
REAL-WORLD EXAMPLE
"A whole genre of video just stopped getting recommended overnight and nobody at the company explained why."
LORE & ORIGIN
Named by platform researchers around 2023 studying long-term recommendation behavior, distinguishing this aggregate, system-wide shift from 'content drift,' which describes an individual user's session-level experience.
