Yes! 2.5 years later it seems obvious, since TikTok solves this problem by avoiding a newsfeed focus and just showing people whatever makes them happy and keeps them engaged, no matter the source.
The business motivation aligns much more closely with the user's motivation - as such, I trust TikTok to do content curation for me, whereas I hated whenever Facebook did the content curation and I felt just ok that Twitter let me do the content curation myself.
It's a complete paradigm shift that is not fully imagined in the article, nor in HN's 2018 comments.
