You’ll get gaslighted into being told this is good despite being continued to be bored.

Or maybe people just have to learn to build their own feed. It's honestly not hard.

This is literally what I'm talking about. You say that and then wonder why Mastodon doesn't catch on, yet every other successful social media does this. It's already evident that people don't want this by the huge numbers dropping off mastodon.

No, people are just addicted to their super engaging algos on twitter/insta/whatever, they're just unable to quit.

Mastodon is fine. Nor does it need to be as massive as Twitter.
