I see nothing wrong in this.
Me neither. Recommendation engines already were a closed box that were being gamed to influence people's opinions. This just removes one attack vector from it, and, as I understand it, it's optional as well. It would be even better if there'd be more genres to block imho.
Me neither. Even though I don't use Instagram / Threads I know it's literally their thing, quite often communicated by management in interviews etc.
