But I can change curation bubbles when they are explicit. I can change channels or listen to a different radio show.
When the algorithm is customized for “me” and opaque, I don’t have that option.
This has deep implications.

Potentially this can be fixable in the long term, but I think humans will almost always(?) be superior curators. Mostly because they’re approaching it from “this is what I like” and not “this is what I know you’re going to like.”
This is why I like that youtube actually recommends music channels, mixes and compilations that are curated and uploaded by humans. It'll be a sad day when totalitarian copyright enforcement makes this a thing of the past.
The problem isn't algorithms. The problem is bad algorithms. Lately YouTube has been on point.
