To refine the analogy a little more then: regarding the algorithms, maybe it's more like direct democracy but with a really powerful propaganda department (that's run by a sort of evil AI) influencing lots of votes?

I very much agree with everything else you said.

Why stand with the direct democracy? It's not like people decide anything that matters.
