This is true for all social media algorithms. None of them are purely automated and for good reason.

Purely chronological sorting of posts works the best and is fully automated. It's just really bad at keeping users eyeballs on ads.

I really don’t agree with this - chronological sorting favors larger/power users who spam their content through all hours of the day, versus smaller users that you probably care more about.
