   @chpietsch While that's something of a pet peeve of mine as well, I think the distinction for the target audience isn't super important. They hear "algorithm" as only a bad thing that's tuned to feed them ads. Communicating with an audience in the language they understand is possibly more important than being technically coirrect.

     Nice! Unfortunately, saying "they have no algorithms" is wrong. No software can work without algorithms.

     You can say something like "they have no curation algorithms" or "they don't sort your timeline according to intransparent rules".
