I use to do something similar last few weeks when I refused to read anything on my mother language except of few vloggers which are totally trusted for me. Now I am heavy user of HN and it never lets me feel that I am in a bubble. BTW I stopped using any IM years ago so refusing to consume everything except HN is not a very hard challenge for me. I think all recommendations based on "personal interests" is evil because there are ultimately good things like Mathematics and ultimately bad ones like gossips. But if you will watch strictly 50% of Math content and 50% of gossip content, the recommendations usually offers kind of 90% of gossip and 10% of Math because gossip is way more popular among others and recommendation algorithms considers Math content as kind of boring. What makes the situation even worse that gossip content is way easier to consume for our brains. So we the people use to consume less content like Math if some high-quality gossip content is offered everywhere and maybe the only way to break this habit is to spend time on resources with totally no gossip content.
