As someone who's studying how these algorithms work I can tell you that this will just result in the AI flooding people's recommendations with shit like YouTube does. What these algorithms do is score content based on the user's viewing history and the properties of the content itself. All they're going to do is penalize based content and/or give bonuses to the cucked shit the mainstream pushes, which will cause people to lose interest. You can optimize for content people will like or can optimize for something else but you can't do one without the other suffering.
Forum sliding bots are already a thing, I'm just surprised the BBC admitted it.

I give it 6 hours before it just turns to reddit and becomes an echo chamber trying to suggest it isn't an echo chamber.
