And you're absolutely right, despite the downvotes, but here's the coldest of all hot takes: it doesn't matter if it's shit. It just has to be there.

Doomscrolling and modern web products were never about quality, but rather about giving the user the hope of potentially seeing something of quality.

Which means that my cousin magic_hamster who said "this can just be an algorithm" is also right [1]. In most cases there's no need to leverage AI here. 90% of everything is gonna be crap, and people historically often get addicted to low-quality crap anyway.
