You equate "what people are vulnerable to" with "what people want to see." "Engagement" isn't a measure of desire, there's little choice being made by the user

You equate "what people are vulnerable to" with "what people want to see." "Engagement" isn't a measure of desire, there's little choice being made by the user to be shown what they respond to, but it's a measure of response. The person who you got to stare may not have wanted to see what you showed them in the first place.

Correct, but there is little ability long-term for a service like Instagram to repeatedly show things to people that they don't want to see. > You equate "what people are vulnerable to" with "what people want to see." TBH that sounds paternalistic to me. I may look at someone reading the people tabloids at the supermarket as a victim vulnerable to trashy content, but who am I to judge? They just like something else than I do. Nobody made them pick up the paper.
