Is It Accountability or Algorithm? The Ugly Truth About How Media Profits From the War Between Black Men and Black Women

There’s a whole industry profiting off the public collapse of Black love. The algorithm doesn’t care if it’s heartbreak, abuse, cheating, or custody battles — as long as it’s messy and Black, it prints money.

But here’s the real question nobody’s brave enough to ask:
Is it accountability… or is it algorithm?

Cardi B & Offset: The Love Story That Wasn’t Meant to Be

We’ve watched Cardi and Offset spiral publicly for years — cheating scandals, reconciliations, cryptic tweets, messy IG Lives, and now a full-blown divorce.

But notice the framing: the internet gaslights Cardi for leaving. They gaslit her for staying. They clown her for not being “wife material” while also mocking her for trying to make marriage work.

The gag? There is no version of Black womanhood that satisfies the algorithm. You lose either way.

Megan Thee Stallion & Tory Lanez: When Even the Truth Isn’t Enough

Megan stood ten toes down in a courtroom, under oath, backed by physical evidence, eyewitness testimony, and still — the world treats her like a liar.

She won the trial. Tory is serving time. AND YET — the gaslighting persists.

• Comment sections still call her a liar.

• Podcast bros still spin it like it was “an accident.”

• Men still debate whether “she deserved it.”

• Entire YouTube careers were built on discrediting her pain.

What other demographic of women has to PROVE they were shot and STILL not be believed?

It’s because the algorithm doesn’t care about justice — it feeds on the chaos of Black women being publicly doubted, disbelieved, and dragged.

The Machine Needs the War to Never End.

• Megan’s win wasn’t the algorithm’s win.

• The algorithm profits more if the comments stay divided.

• More engagement when the public says “She’s lying” than when they say “She was right.”

This ain’t just misogyny. This is misogynoir fed through capitalism, disguised as entertainment.

Halle Bailey & DDG: The Custody War the Internet Wanted

Same playbook. Same machine.
The moment Halle set boundaries with DDG — restraining orders, sole custody requests — the narrative flipped:

• “She’s bitter.”

• “She’s overreacting.”

• “She’s weaponizing the courts.”

The same people who said “Protect Black women” when she was pregnant are now saying “She ruined his life.” Because the algorithm only loves Black women when we’re quiet, pretty, agreeable, and in pain. But not when we fight back. Not when we protect ourselves.

The Algorithm Is the Villain. Not Black Men. Not Black Women.

The media doesn’t care about healing. It doesn’t care about resolution. It doesn’t care about the truth.

It only cares that Black men and Black women stay locked in a public battle — because that’s what keeps the lights on.

Final Word:

• Megan won her case.

• Halle set her boundary.

• Cardi chose herself.

And yet — the machine is STILL trying to convince the world that the problem… is them.
