But I *hate* algorithmic feeds. To explain why, I must explain how much I love *non*-algorithmic feeds. I follow a *lot* of people on social media services, and I almost never feel the need to look at trending topics, suggested posts, or anything resembling the "For You" feed. Sure, there's times when I want to turn on the ole social TV and see what's on - the digital equivalent of leaving the TV on in a hotel room while I unpack and iron my suit - but those times are *rare*.
