What it means

A fake Discover feed combines a dramatic movie clip, Rick Sanchez saying “Wubba Lubba Dub Dub,” an influencer selfie, and a person eating a Carolina Reaper. The joke is that completely unrelated entertainment, social media, advertising, and shock content are all being flattened into the same algorithmic content sludge, echoing Martin Scorsese’s criticism of modern media.
