Does it show you precisely what you want to see? Or just what you're most likely to engage with? I feel like there's an important distinction there.

The former, which is why people use it. It shows you what you want to see and will genuinely enjoy seeing.
That is why TikTok is more popular than platforms that only focus on engagement, because those platforms will show content that you will engage with even if it's in frustration.
