I think that's an interesting approach although I'm not convinced that's sufficient. Is addictive content less addictive without a visible metric? It removes one potentially harmful aspect but teen girls will still see feeds full of beautiful models living in LA mega mansions.
- rg111 5y agoI don't think that's sufficient at all. Before likes and shares, we had TV, and before TV, we had newspapers and tabloids. The newspapers regularly printed pictures of women considered beautiful according to the beauty standards of that time. That propagated that standard even more widely. And people could easily compare those traits with the traits they saw in the women they knew, and women did feel bad about not looking like the woman in the newspaper. This is old. So, even if we make non-algorithmic, time-based feeds, this problem cannot be fully gotten rid of.
