It’s good. I don’t want posts to be catered to my own biases. I want to see the same content everyone else is seeing. Keeps me in touch with reality.
It’s one of the reasons why I miss pre-Google YouTube. In the past, likes, views, and subscriptions were what drove videos to the front page. Now the algorithm just feeds you what it thinks you want to see. For people with extremist views, that is a very dangerous thing to be exposed to.
I definitely think it needs something. Right now most of the posts are entirely irrelevant to my interests and my friends that have switched have said the same. A “simple” shared interests algorithm (show posts that people with similar interests engaged with) or something would be great and not inherently predatory

I meant this more for the Lemmy equivalent of /all
