This is very nice for you, but the problem is that most people who consume social media are consuming it about as passively as possible and aren't aware that their experience can be curated the way that you are doing. Providing the tools to curate one's own social media feed is not a solution to the problem the article is explaining. Here's an analogy: Imagine if we discovered that thousands of cars had some fatal flaw that could result in death and instead of recalling them the manufacturer just made a DIY repair kit available for twenty bucks online. How many people would just put it off or ignore the problem until their car exploded? That's the problem we have with social media: It's got huge problems that most people are only vaguely aware of, and the solutions they offer are mostly esoteric DIY controls that very few people will care about or use.
