Giving options for users is a slippery slope to making their application hard to use/give less control to them. In its current state, I don't see any social media websites offering control of their feed. They want to provide the maximum revenue to themselves, which means driving engagement numbers and eye time. I imagine the majority of people spend much more time when these algorithms are working, even if they're just idling scrolling. What they're trying to address is flukes in that algo -- they want to keep their pie and eat it too. They want the high engagement numbers and are trying to combat the negatives that are making headlines. I'd definitely like to see a social media site that's more about intentional interactions versus a raw numbers game of trying to keep me on.
