We should ban dynamic feeds that aren't based on explicit user action. E.g., Youtube should only be able to show search results based on search term, not search context. The recommendations should only be videos from channels you have subscribed to.

The dangers of algorithmic content are so obvious, and the only way to stop companies from doing this stuff is to legislate against it

Ranking might be deterministic but it’s never free from bias.

		i'm sure they can still scramble our brains pretty good by exploiting ranking, but if they aren't allowed to customize it per person (e.g., if the same searches have to return the same results for different people), I think it will be a lot less effective
