I am not quite sure what a non-hostile recommendation algorithm even would do.

Recommend me things that are “good” for me regardless of whether I engage with them?Recommend me things that only generate the “right kind” of engagement? Make me think more? Make me happier in the moment? Make me happier in ten years?

There is a question here about what it means to recommend something. For the hostile algorithm, this is conveniently answered — addiction.
