I'm not the person you're responding too, but the negatives of recommendation algorithms on major social media platforms are well understood and documented in the media these days. I think this has urged a lot of people to reject them wholesale and find alternative ways to consume content (myself included; I only use YouTube RSS feeds to watch videos these days). Some downsides to recc algos include: monopolizing your attention for profit via ad revenue, incentivising addictive or compulsive behavior, subtle (or not so subtle) political radicalization or echo chambers, among other stuff.

If you don't find any of the above to be a problem, you don't have anything to worry about, of course.
