Trump or whichever panderer will get the like/view/clicks anyways

Since platforms signal to everyone popularity or engagement = quality. And no one is proposing anything better. As content/noise explodes with everyone broadcasting, the pressure will keep growing for mechanisms that generate signals of quality. If the mechanisms are poor, random and chaotic things will keep Emerging out of these systems.

Microtargeting is an added bonus for the attention seekers and panderers. You can regulate micro targetting and it won't reduce the things that get propped up by the algos.

There is a reason radio spectrum is regulated. If everyone broadcasts without any coordination all you get is massive noises where no one can hear anything anyone else is saying. And that's pretty much what's happening now. Mechanisms to increase signal and reduce noise are half baked.
