Algorithms are for people who never learnt
to tie their own shoelaces.
A really good example of when not to use an algorithm but it is forced upon the users is Facebook Marketplace. Who wants to see suggested items in a competive secondhand buying market??? It’s a first in best dressed environment. Shows how out of touch with reality FB Devs are.
Completely agree on that. I’ve never bought anything on FB, just because it was f*ing annoying with the suggestions. FFS, if I wanted to buy something, I’ll look for it, OK 😒.

Rules:
Be civil and nice.
Try not to excessively repost, as a rule of thumb, wait at least 2 months to do it if you have to.
Always use new … like a normal person.
