Agreed, that part is great 👍 unfortunately outside of nostr clients, putting friendly chatter and hilarious memes on your feed isn't really up to you.
For example, on all platforms there's an algorithm that keeps track how quickly you swipe away/leave posts as a means to gauge where your interest lies. It then searches up a set of ads that matches up with whatever it finds engaging to you, then gets all the advertisers to bid for your attention. Whoever pays top dollar or who has the largest contract behind the scenes gets to be the next post on your feed.
Happens all in a blink of an eye, and keeps on repeating. The user-curated feed is an illusion. I used to think this stuff was cool, it really isn't -- I was in programmatic digital advertising until 2018. Towards the end of my career, the industry shifted towards taking design cues from the gaming/gambling industry, AdBlock has little to no impact; all it takes is to add some annoyances to get less savy users to turn it off.
Stick to nostr, it's all slot machines out there 😵💫
