the vast majority, as demonstrated by their engagement, prefer the algorithmic model

All engagement measures is time spent on the site. Or how much people are prepared to tolerate.

Exactly this. I like Instagram but I wish they would optimize for how I want to use it, now how they want me to use it. I want to get on, see stuff from my friends and get off. I want to spend the least amount of time possible on the site and that's something that social media sites seem to think would be bad for them.
