Drawing Algorithms

An algorithm, drawn by a 30-year-old female PhD in sociology in the US.

I have one other drawing and then I'll have this short form, but can you please draw how an algorithm works. Ooh. And I'll keep this on so you can narrate it. How an algorithm works. So, okay. So I don't, how I'm going to visualize it is I'm basically drawing, what I guess looks like a bulls-eye. But my rationale behind it is the idea that the more weight that happens, the larger the circles, the more weight something has. So trying to capture the idea of an algorithm working in that keeps the more weight that's put on it, the more it draws people in. I don't know, I'm not making sense even as I'm saying this. Can you clarify what you mean by weight? By weight, I guess I'm kind of starting with the idea that the more that whoever, something that has influenced on how much attention something's receiving. So cynically, the powers that be controlling our algorithms or more simplistically just something that has a number of hits in the case of the internet. The more hits something gets, the more it's going to come up as, I'm thinking specifically of Google obviously, because that what many of us use most frequently. So trying to grasp the idea. So in my bulls-eye of an algorithm, that's what I mean by weight, I guess. Okay. Sorry. Thank you, no.
