One might say that sites like reddit and hacker news are just archaic versions of the same recommendation engine, but the friction is actually an important feature, and keeps the experience from devolving into lowest common denominator clickbait.

I'm not certain about this seems like it would depend on the algorithm in question. In any case not certain I understand exactly what the friction you're referring to is, and how it helps devolution.
