Orkut founder plans comeback to challenge AI-driven feeds
Original: Remember Orkut? Its founder wants to bring it back Orkut's founder is now taking aim at algorithms and AI-generated cont
Orkut Buyukkokten, creator of the once-hugely popular social network Orkut, is working to relaunch the platform. The new version is being positioned against algorithmic feeds and AI-generated content, with the founder arguing for a return to more human, authentic online socialising. Orkut was shut down by Google in 2014 but retains nostalgic appeal, particularly in Brazil and India, and the revival has drawn interest from former users and tech commentators.
Why now: Nostalgia for the early social network plus curiosity about an anti-algorithm, anti-AI alternative resonates amid current debate over AI-saturated feeds.
