It's possible that someone has some X but could still use more of X. While users have a lot of "control over what content they see", there's also far more hidden; IOW, users could have additional control and choice. As an example, "social media" services often promote two-way blocking over one-way blocking (e.g. "muting"), or may not even offer one-way blocking. This means that if I tire of John Smith and "block" him, he's likely to be unable to read anything I've written before or write in the future. That's poor control for users. (Especially if I continue to smear John Smith after I've blocked him.) Services often censor discovery, even absent a block: a post may be only accessible via direct link and cannot be found via search or user re-posting.
