Algorithms get gamed by either the public or by the shareholder-based companies that create them... Companies are the LEAST dependable ones to create truly uncorrupt algorithms for social media. They adjust everything to drive sales, to drive profit, to drive ad revenue, because year over year shareholders expect profit growth. Creating social media presence used to be fair, but now as a content creator, the ONLY way to get noticed is to game the system. Rich people and companies prevail against algorithms because they can hire companies to boost their views, and to create followers, and to create massive campaigns. This makes everything unfair, and invalidates the equality that the Internet was meant to create. There is already a universal basis for social media timelines and algorithms, it's the one they started out with when they were trying to become important; A time line based on when content was posted, equal visibility for all users, conservative ad placement without pop-ups, User Interfaces based on functionality first, thorough testing of releases prior to updates, reading feedback from users before addressing stakeholder concerns... And most importantly "Not Becoming Evil" in the process.
