I think its appeal mainly comes from the fact that it’s not overtly biased. Other algorithms could achieve the same if it wasn’t for the fact that they’re so heavy handed in what they allow the feed to promote.
It’s also why I think people are having such crazy reactions to the pending ban, even the thought of withdrawal is too much.
I feel like this is a pretty shitty over simplification. People are mad about the censorship aspect and see it as yet another step towards authoritarianism (or deeper into it, not trying to split hairs about the current state of the US government).
