Fuck the Algorithm: Brown Sugar & Fig Scented Incense Sticks

The Message

The message behind this design was inspired by the documentary Coded Bias which explores how the algorithm, driven by machine-gathered data in an attempt to avoid human prejudice, is as biased as the authors of the code. For instance, a few examples of this technology include facial-recognition software that has difficulty detecting dark-skinned users, differentiating between the faces of women, and incorrectly flagging posts of plus-size women at higher rates than their smaller counterparts, when they are covering all necessary parts, as being "sexually explicit" due to a certain percentage of skin being detected, especially for Black women content creators. 

If social media’s flawed algorithm has you pressed, close that app, light this candle, and inhale a scent as unique as you are. Formulated to fill your space with juicy notes of fig, orchid, brown sugar, and vanilla, our Fuck the Algorithm candle will transform your space into a self-care sanctuary.
