If it happens it happens. I can only hope that the result is boredom rather than increased engagement.

that's an interesting point. A echo chamber could lead to fatigue and boredom.

Reels is able to keep me engaged because it is able to surface similar content I would like but from different users. And they have such a breadth of producers these days.

The X home feed algo is not so good apart from it being text only, even for infotainment content. YT shorts also does not work as good as the Insta algo
