Excellent. Make platforms with algorithmic feeds count as publishers, too, and you can solve 90% of the world’s problems

    What do you mean by "algorithmic"? Something like a recommendation engine?

    Basically anything where the platform prioritises some things over others, rather than just giving you the posts/videos/whatever in order from the people you’ve subscribed to. Recommendation engines would be one example

    To add, what happens is it prioritizes engagement (comments the most, then likes, then dislikes). The problem with that is this ends up prioritizing ragebait, preaching to the choir, disinformation, etc. since that is how you get engagement.
