Why wouldn't you? Do you not like the content you find on it? If not, why are you thinking of downloading it?

Liking the content or not is missing the point. The question anyone should be asking is whether they like how the algorithm manipulates them by shaping what the content in they see.

This applies to all social media, BTW.
