I don't know what libraries you go to, but at mine the librarians don't interview you then hand you a tightly curated stack of essays and longform articles to read every day. Unless you need something specific, then librarians are great.

And involves going to a physical place. The service I'm thinking about is not, afaict, in competition with libraries - more news feeds.

people are already capable of reading beyond their newsfeeds. ‘services’ like this are monetized technofascism in drag. what you are proposing is a chum bucket for the minds of spoiled valley liberpiglets. by eradicating chance and error you eradicate choice

'By eradicating chance and error you eradicate choice' - we might have a different definition of choice. If, for example, I want to avoid reading about US politics because I have little agency over it, I can't easily avoid it on FB or Twitter's newsfeeds.

Chance + error = diversity, not agency. Still a good thing, but I would argue that current ad-driven automated newsfeed algorithms don't do a great job of that either.
