I think LW actively tries to promote user agency. Some examples that I’ve noticed in the design:
Downvotes
Strong votes
Configurable feed
Text heavy design (images are only bestowed upon the best posts and even then they’re heavily stylized and not grabby)
Notification settings including batched notifications
Votes placed after the post body to encourage voting after reading
Non infinite scroll feed
lots and lots more, there are many tiny things about lw that make me think the people who designed it cared about UX in a very different way from the typical marketer
