I agree. I guess the reasoning is that otherwise people would be flooded with thousands of posts, but, yes, it should be the user's decision, not an algorithm. Bizarre. Bizarre that we accept it.

(Personally, I put it down to about 4+ generations of deriding the humanities as irrelevant, which means, among other things, there are no ethicists/philosophers/cultural analysts hired to help figure out how technology should serve humanity.)
