Does it fight algorithm addiction or does it just utilise existing algorithm addiction to give you something slightly more informative?

[–] blind3rdeye@lemm.ee 4 points 20 hours ago

Apparently it doesn't use a personalised algorithm. So I'd say the first one.

I would disagree on the "slightly more informative" part. I have used it and in my opinion, it's "highly informative and educational".

It's like what vaping is to nicotine addiction.

Better than the alternative, buttt

I think it's more "Butt as an alternative to algorithms" which I fully agree with. Butts are better than algorithms

Depends on the butt, I've seen some nice algorithms.
