Edited this response. Previous version didn’t convey all of what I meant and felt vague to me upon re-reading it.
Yeah, the main thing people care about at a far/large scale isn’t what their feeds are like. And that’s a big part of any discourse about social media. But wrt. the near/small scale, I think people mainly care about “why am I getting so much slop/engagement bait?” That latter perspective is what I was focused on.
Nonetheless, many people must’ve read the title and (reasonably) assumed I meant the far/large scale. So the title was misleading. My bad.
