Technological advancement has given rise to numerous digital platforms, enabling precise marketing driven by data analytics and algorithms. Although users operate within an invisible digital panopticon, they continue to engage with these platforms with enjoyment. This study explored user awareness of algorithms, perceptions of autonomy, and evaluations of value by using in-depth interviews supplemented by think-aloud methods. The results revealed that although users expressed algorithm awareness, they prioritized their needs and perceived value over potential risks, leading to the co-optation of their autonomy by platform structures. Despite being confined within a digital cage, users’digital perceptions and practices reflect a restructuring of habitus rather than disciplinary control, suggesting they remain aware but unperturbed in their digital daily lives. |
