Not sure I entirely agree. I would rather reframe it as "we don't need algorithms that indiscriminately magnify content that make people angry for profit".
We've had this discussion before, but in case I'm misremembering:
I think it's very likely that even if you removed all algorithmic influences in people's feeds, you would still have an amplification of fake news, and it would probably amplify more within particular networks of people.
I just don't think there's a realistic way to solve it without just removing harmful material.
