There seem to be two different issues in your point here.
First is algorithms to select content for users.
This is often an issue because the algorithm is designed to maximize time on site, which results in content that pressed emotional buttons and engages the fight or flight reflex built into us.
The other issue is that users can’t be trusted to use a tool correctly.
I don’t think this last point is wrong, but I don’t think it links to your primary point.
