I can't directly speak to the Gen Z crew as I am too old for that (lol) but I can say one thing.
It's not so much for the personalized feed that they care for, its the dopamine hit they take when they are sucked into the psychological warfare that these apps inflict on them in a totally predatory nature.
Right now my personal feed on Nostr is to just follow people I want to follow. Apps like Instagram attack you with posts for engagement and likes that are not even related to your friends. Same with the "For you" feed on Twitter.
I am all for a personalized feed, but we need to make sure it's done in the right way and not in the way that Zuck et al are doing.
With the permissionless open nature of Nostr this can be achieved and there can be competing "algorithms" to create the best personal feeds.
