Swiftie community tribalism on Twitter (X)

# data[].attributes.body
The Taylor Swift fanbase has a strong connection to not only Taylor's music but Taylor herself and her relationships. Fans feel the need to defend her if an article comes out belittling her. The fans in this tribe on X tend to stick together and prove loyalty by sticking up for anyone who might be putting her down. Some examples include defending her relationship with Travis Kelce, and defending her from influencers who claim to like her music when they were talking bad about her before. Another example is people saying she can't sing, and Swifties coming to her defense immediately.

Taylor recently played a surprise song at one of her Toronto shows called 'evermore' which is also the title of one of her albums. This person is showing that they belong in the Swiftie community by stating they are a long time fan of evermore and is challenging other swifties to rank all of her albums because she assumes that most would not have 'evermore' at the top of these rankings. She is engaging with the community and also defending Taylor's album.

I think that algorithms, content, and social dynamics contribute to the reinforcement of online echo chambers or tribal communities by social media sites catering to like-minded individuals. If an algorithm sees that a person liked a Taylor Swift post, they will recommend more Taylor Swift posts for that person and show more of her on their feed. I think that people need to be aware of this when they start to click on random content such as conspiracy theories because they can easily fall down into a rabbit hole without knowing it and soon enough they will be stuck in an echo chamber unknowingly of conspiracy theorists. Some effects of these communities include, people becoming ver closed-minded. If a person only sees that of what echos their own thoughts then they will be more inclined to disagree with other people. These effects can be disastrous in the sense that if they are not noticed, people will blindly follow their social media algorithms. Some strategies to mitigate these effects would include to educate people on echo chambers and algorithms. By telling people around us what these apps do, it can possibly make them more open to looking for their information elsewhere rather than just social media. Another idea might be to look for information on multiple sites, and sources and not just one platform. Talk to people with opposing views about how they see the world and why.

This person posted that they think the concept pf a best friend is illogical, thinking people would agree, but it turns out, most people did not. At the very bottom of the photo is a person who replied saying "OP it sounds like you need to get a best friend" and that comment got more up voted than the OP's (original posters) post.

Does your YouTube history suggest you are in any echo chambers or tribes?  Or does it not? What is your evidence for your conclusion? You need to include some self-reflection here.

My YouTube history suggests that I am a fan of watching celebrity interviews. One of my favorite television shows of all time is Gilmore Girls, so I have been looking up the actress who plays one of the lead characters and watching her interviews. I do not think this suggests that I'm in an echo chamber because people comment random things on these videos. There is not a sense of community, only opinions about the interviews themselves.

My Youtube history here suggests that I am watching a lot of Architectural Digest videos. I am interested in watching tours of celebrity homes. I think this does suggest that I am in some sort of echo chamber because most people who subscribe or watch architectural digest videos like to talk about celebrities and/or houses. I don't necessarily see this as a bad thing however, as I like to look at unique houses but I do think that the algorithm knows I like viewing houses so they will keep me engaged. I also will sometimes talk to people in the comments an=bout the homes and like their posts or comments as well, further proving that I am in an echo chamber.
