I am increasingly convinced we need to separate content storage from recommendation algorithms.
When an organization does both, it has perverse incentives such as maximizing add-profit or user-engagement by building echo chambers instead of doing what benefits the users - such as maximizing truth-seeking and getting an accurate picture of opinions among the general population.

Agreed. I am quite pessimistic about what can be achieved though.
