Well yeah. I am not saying otherwise.
The algorithm also takes in all the user’s data to determine what to show. If it was simple, everyone would do it. Plus there are millions of parameters for advertising and influence.

People will see what will likely get them to engage more often. So if a left wing person rage comments on a right wing post, they will get more of that and vice versa.
If you use the tik toks and the instagrams of the world, just start swiping. Less than one second per item. Don’t stop. You will see the different themes of topics. They will try to hook you with titties, jokes, politics, whatever keeps you there for longer.
Suddenly the world is full of the things you engage with. Engage with anti trans stuff, you will get that. If you hate trans and you rage comment on trans posts the algorithm will get you more of that. So you start to think the world has now gotten more trans. Or more conservative or more whatever.
Never go full algorithm.

So just UDP?
Algorithm off implies a lot of parameters about the user which could be disabled. Right now there are thousands of parameters being used to curate content to you. With it off you could get true random content which in theory should allow for you to not get sucked into the dopamine trap.
