I want to see the same internet as everyone else. The more my experience is customized to me, the more disconnected I am from people who aren't like me, and the more our views will diverge over time. Ultimately it leads to bad outcomes; Trump, or possibly eventually civil war. So I am against too much automatic hidden customisation.
You might think that's hyperbole. I don't. I'm deadly serious; I think something worse than Trump is coming down the tracks because of an increasingly divided polis, and it's divided because of atomisation of world perspective. Filter bubbles driven by hidden preferences are directly responsible for shielding people from unpleasant perspectives, on both sides.
