I think algorithms are kind of like pollution. They keep pushing stuff that makes people feel awful just to keep them scrolling. That seems like a public health problem, so maybe it should be regulated like one.

I think you're arguing something totally different, which is fine, but it doesn't really touch what I said about algorithms. Maybe you have a fair point I'm missing? I still just feel like stuff designed to keep people hooked and upset should be treated like a health risk.
