Curation bias is the flip side of the very low signal to noise ratio and general information overload we face today. I don't see how you can solve one without hurting the other. Picking stories at random isn't a solution either, because those stories serve another important purpose (sometimes more important than the actual content) - they are social objects, shared things people can talk about. Culture is lots of people experiencing the same stuff, so that they can relate to it in conversations.
