Did the algorithm make your taste or find it? — a ten-minute writing prompt

Trace one thing you love back to the recommendation that started it.

What a child is asked afterwards

Did the algorithm make your taste or find it?

What do you watch a lot? How did you find it?

Everyone gets the same subject. What differs is the follow-up: one question for children, two for teens, three for adults. Only the children's wording is simplified.

Where people usually get stuck on this one

When you stall halfway

Explaining is what stalls you. Put down what you saw and what you heard instead.

When it reads flat

Find the sentence you are least sure about. What you actually meant is usually hiding there.

When the first line won't come

Skip it and start at the second. The opening writes itself once the rest exists.

Today's constraints on this prompt

Save your best line for last

The last line is the one that stays.

Every sentence under 12 words

One long sentence can sink the whole piece.

No 'and' or 'so'

If it still flows without them, the flow was already there.
