Different people have different preferences. There's nothing inherently wrong with that.
There obviously is nothing wrong, superficially, with people having different preferences. There is something very obviously wrong with Algorithm based commercial social media platforms that deliberately 'gaze farm'. Framing this as 'just a choice', is not really engaging in what that choice is, in this case, and why people are making it, and how hundreds of millions, perhaps billions of people being continuously gaze farmed is altering social consciousness. But sure, "There’s nothing inherently wrong with that", for some value of 'that'.
Building a sign on a highway is also gaze farming.
