I believe in the long run there will be a focus on development for better, customizable, algorithmic discoverability, because as much as the Silicon Valleys algorithms are harmful, there are still benefits to them. For example I had to mute some interesting accounts, because their posting frequency floods my timeline. Hopefully it won't be necessary in the future.

Agreed, that's what I'm hoping for. We can have algorithmic curation and discovery without the advertising fluff.
