This is a frustratingly popular perspective on here.

Like, if you legitimately believe that people who use social media are desperate for some kind of content recommendation algorithm, then instead of being like "You plebs! You must do the work yourself!", we could instead be like "hmm, maybe we could make a content recommendation algorithm that plugs into the protocol?".

We already have clients. We already have relays. There is nothing about the design of nostr that mandates you interface with it as a raw, global feed of notes. Granted, if people are pseudonymous, then personal information can't inform those algorithms, but so what?

This is actually a great project for people who know how to design social media content recommendation. The theory behind these algorithms certainly does not inherently require that the users all be on servers owned by the same firm.
