Technically true, I'll rephrase it, in sense of what people mean when they talk about "the algorithm", which is much more sophisticated, used on sites like twitter, Youtube etc. which controls what people experience, based on their own data, and behavior that are manipulated without any transparency. As Seeker say, personally controlled algos are fine, but centrally controlled ones are evil. Maybe there is a better word for what I mean.
My bad.
Yup. Visibility algorithms are bad, because they can and will be manipulated for gains.

Always best is to create your own sorting.
Lists does this and shows only the accounts you select; hence no algorithm.
