Oh, at this stage yes I’m reasonably sure it’d be technically feasible for those criteria to be operationalised in a mostly not-too-lossy way.
The difficulty is indeed primarily in distribution and in ideals meeting people where they are. (There’d also be some question of token expense if you were running contextually sensitive smarts on every single post, though that continues to get cheaper.)
We’ve used the term ‘aligned recommender systems’ to capture the idea that content feeds and information diets could be much more edifying and so on. Trying to be too preachy and prescriptive is presumably doomed to fail. Perhaps an incentive-compatible middle way is to hook into people’s more reflective endorsement signals, and better nuanced feedback than clicks and other engagements.
