This is a case of psychological exploitation - in a free market of algorithms the current dominant flavor on platforms would win for the majority of people. As unpopular as it may be in this forum the real solution here is government regulation as we need to work as a society to protect our brains from these exploits.
"Winning" in this context doesn't matter because people have the freedom to choose which algorithms they want to use.
Like in the same way that windows has "won" in that it has 99% of desktop market share yet I can still use Linux happily.
I don't want government regulation here for the same reason I don't want the gov to step in and tell Linux what regulations it has to follow
