Or at least give the user a preference as to the algorithm/sorting method they want (or the ability to implement their own! Will never happen, sadly.) I think it’s the lack of transparency into the curation. and lack of control over it, that is the issue, not the particular queries being run.

Most people have no idea how to change preferences, so whatever is default might as well be the only option. This is why Google pays billions to be the default search engine, not even the forced/only option.

It matters so little that it’s kind of odd that these sites don’t give the option, so at least they could use it in their arguments to show they have it. Probably only 0.01% of users would ever actually use it.

Make a secondary market for algorithms and split part of the revenue with twitter. I'd love that.

So all your twitter data and interactions like clicks and time spent will be sent to whoever gets you to install their algorithm? I can see why Cambridge Analytica seemed like a good idea to some people now...

Almost all of that stuff is public data which can already be scraped.
