  • Personalization is a form of manipulation.
    • All interaction is manipulation: a push and pull.
    • Whether something is manipulation is "if you could have infinite time to reflect on this, would you be happy with it?"
      • Is it in your interest or not?
    • it can be in your interest and also different than you would have picked before it.
    • For example if there are multiple options that are equivalent to you but one is better for your collaborator, it's fine.
