I think the need for AI/machine learning to predict what you want has kind of brought us here.

Imagine a Facebook or Instagram not mining your data to show you what they think you want - the results in your timeline will be a grand hash of all the think that's new and happening.

That would have been a vastly different experience.

Except for perhaps Reddit, every other big site today personalizes your content and this has made the internet boring for me.

The only place i discovew new content is Reddit, but again its front page is full of memes and American content.
