alt Hacker NewsIt is funny that people on Hackernews are (acting as if they were) against algorithmic feeds. This very site is one of the trailblazers that found out how much people prefer algorithmic feeds to chronological ones.

In what sense is HN an algorithmic feed? It is neither personalised nor does it have a significant discretionary boost beyond "age" and "upvotes". It's qualitatively a different thing.

On its own an algorithmic feed is fine. Automatically give people what they want to see. Like TV without flipping channels.
It just turned into something out of control with unintended side effects and immoral goals.
I think you'll find that people who are against algo-feeds are against that being the only choice.
