Isn't the article more about algorithmic sorting that you don't have any control over, vs e.g. filters? Or another way of looking at it, the service filtering you rather than you filtering the service. It doesn't seem like you are talking about the same thing as the author, but I didn't read it that closely so may have missed something. There is at least something potentially interesting there, if an algorithmic sorting approach is responsive to a social bias, there are obvious mechanisms by which it could end up amplifying that bias, rather than just representing it.
