Fair enough, it must be inevitable and the algorithm is irrelevant.

The algorithms tend to favour entrenchment. They don't select on good or best they don't understand those qualities so they select on the basis of popular, assuming people are aware of the best. The issue with that is once a best has been selected years later the algorithm has effectively boosted them even with better options. Discovery is a real problem on most social media but especially on places like twitch.
