I'd happily exchange that discoverability for control of my own informational environment.

Even if you're right, think about the positive effect that'd have on society. The people with cool, interesting products would be the ones who put a little intentionality and effort into it, incentivizing everyone to be a little more thoughtful.

You already have as much control as you’ll ever have. You can participate or avoid millions of options. You can pay for ad-free options, etc etc.
