My problem isn't with the existence of an algorithm, it's when the algorithm is used to foster engagement of a negative persuasion.
For example; my YouTube recommendations are an alogorithm and it's very useful for finding content to watch.
On the flip side; Instagram order comments on Reels + Facebook posts sorted "For you" and often they are negative views pushed to you so you feel the need to react or to respond to that content.
