They don’t want you finding content, they want you watching the content they feed you. That’s why you used to be able to just subscribe and see videos, and then you had to ring the bell to see stuff you subscribed to (BECAUSE WHY WOULD YOU SUBSCRIBE TO SOMETHING YOU DIDN’T WANT TO SEE?) and then you only actually GET to see that content if you’re also allowing notifications to spam you about it. The process literally changed to “if you want to always see what you want, instead of what we tell you you want, you have to let us blow up your phone 24/7.” Fuck the modern internet, this is the reason I tend to just hide in my old video games most of the time now.

I mean devil’s advocate here, what do they do with social media in a socialist market?

Lemmy and kbin were created in a capitalist market. So was linux and the rest of the foss concept.
