Algorithmic Power and Platform Dependency

當演算法中介了注意力、判斷與生計，它就成為一種權力結構——量化並壓縮人的價值、以不透明方式運作、把創作者鎖進平台依賴（一種數位殖民）。涵蓋演算法對決策的權威、個人能動性的侵蝕，以及把身份與收入建立在別人掌控的基礎設施上的策略風險。對應 Paul 長期母題：如何在演算法統治下保住注意力主權與自主性。

When algorithms mediate attention, judgment, and livelihood they become a power structure — quantifying and compressing human value, operating opaquely, and locking creators into platform dependence (a form of digital colonialism). Covers algorithmic authority over decisions, the erosion of individual agency, and the strategic risk of building identity and income on infrastructure someone else controls.
