You are ignoring the why, though. Person centered feeds simply make us spend more time on them. They are more engaging.

This will be like smoking. It's great, and cool, and also addictive. People will have to make a decision to stop doing what their emotions tell them to do. I think eventually it will happen, but smoking is still around, most people have smoked a bit in their lives. You just stop eventually because you know its bad for you.
