Well, then the risk is that you build your own bubbles of likeminded people. Maybe that's all you need, may be not.

There is much more diversity of perspective among friends and colleagues than there is in my algorithmic social media feed. This is the whole problem: we no longer see perspectives we respect but don't share.
Anecdotal, but I feel like I've done a better job curating diverse opinions in my feed than any algorithm has.
Surely an algorithm focused on that would best me, but the only ones out there today are only motivated by selling ad space and data. Its a bit of an unfair fight today since that isn't my goal, but I don't expect anyone to fund a social media platform with similar goals to mine in their algorithm.
