Show Notes

Birthdays used to be a moment of genuine connection – a card, a call, a gathering. Today, it’s a flood of shallow Facebook notifications, auto-generated LinkedIn greetings, and automated Slack shoutouts. In this episode of “The Birthday Alienation Attack,” we delve into how birthdays have become just another engagement metric in the digital world. Are we celebrating people or feeding algorithms? From bots that wish “happy birthday” to the privacy risks of exposing your birth date, join us as we explore how technology has turned a human ritual into a tool of alienation.
