They haven’t been completely honest about their funding and biases. Second, they are trying to say that it’s human nature and not the filter bubble that’s responsible for things going bad. But those are not independent things. The algorithms created the filter bubble because they are designed to exploit human nature in order to trap human attention. That filter bubble in turn affects human nature in a negative way to cause polarization.

They’re not making an argument for the filter bubble though.
