Yep, but if you don't know which relays are doing that, you are just feeding the same algorithms and sales platforms of big tech. Hopefully we can make people aware and empower them to pick and easily move between relays.

Then just use Twitter :) the beauty of Nostr is to not rely on any server doing that. Otherwise, there are alfar better protocols out there if the server is allowed to assemble your feed.
What I'm talking about is using the *client* to decide the algorithm, or perhaps open-source DVMs, not the server. Twitter is everything decided by black-box algo. I.e. Coracle with advanced filtering methods, etc. But these models still just say "give me all the notes", and then filter (by my own choice) what comes through at the client level.
