It was definitely a good development to let social media operators make automated “recommendations based on what you seem to like” instead of, you know, letting users decide manually what they want to see, amirite… /s

I find the algorithms spot on. Zero need to optimize around an edge case/zero day.
There is still social media that lets you see posts made by your friends and people you follow in chronological order coughfetlifecough
But surely some kind of automated filter is valuable. SM companies should give users more control over their feeds, like maybe once they have more than X things followed, 80% of their feed will be from things they’ve followed, and the user could override that setting.
