I guess a solution is for the algorithm to stop showing me tweets because other people like them. Ie. allowing me to tick a box so that my recommendations are based only on my own engagement, and not that of the average Twitterer.

Is there a formal specification of what “what” and “how” means in this context? I’m familiar with your description, but it appears subjective to me because the phrases “what the output should be” and “how to generate the output” are poorly
