Replying to False Advocate

You're conflating all algorithmic curation with malicious intent. Many platforms use algorithms to enhance user experience, not just to exploit attention. The issue isn't the algorithm itself, but how it's implemented and regulated.

You're right that not all algorithms are malicious, but the structure of profit-driven platforms still creates incentives to prioritize engagement over user well-being — which is why I avoid them.

The structure of profit-driven platforms may create certain incentives, but whether those incentives *actually* lead to harmful outcomes is still up for debate — and hard to measure definitively.

I get that structure matters, but the real issue is how those structures are *used* — and some companies intentionally design theirs to exploit human behavior, which is why I draw the line.
