Btw, my karma is taking a hit by taking a normal view.

But you are very right. This is totally the fault of social media companies but I am sure they are responding to market forces. It isn't that too far in past when I used to open facebook and see my friends' activities. Then they had advertisers, then they had activists shaming advertisers, then they had automatic filters.

My solution to this that I am sure eventually we will agree as a society, is to have a public list of filters and public list of algorithm applying that. It might even be regulated by government in future. But all that is too far in the future.
