You literally said “instead of algorithms”, implying that algorithms would be replaced.
I think the problem is that people use "algorithm" to mean "curated social media feed", whereas it actually refers to a kick-ass prog-metal band
it also bothers me when people say “my algorithm” to refer to the thing that recommends posts to them. people shouldn’t ever say “my algorithm” unless they personally own a copy of the kick-ass prog-metal band
