What it means

A collage mocks people who claim they reject television and mainstream media because they do not want others to shape their opinions. The punchline points out that recommendation algorithms and online content still determine their tastes and personality, making the claim hypocritical. It is used as a sarcastic reaction to someone presenting themselves as independent-minded while being heavily influenced by algorithms.
