How do you do it without harming privacy? How do you do it without nasty attestation that basically bans GNU/Linux? How do you handle children interested in topics (like programming) which only online platforms can sustain well? And allowing logged-out access is just keeping the worst parts, as the algorithms will keep showing the popular stuff, like those TikTok challenges.
I propose, instead, banning recommendation algorithms. This would ensure that only content which genuinely interests people will be shown, not some weird brainrot just because it's popular.
