Recommendation engines are too personalized
I really like the idea that services have embedded recommendation engines that suggest other things you may like. But most of the services I use are entirely too personalized. Two examples:
I watch either standup specials or a repeating rotation of sitcoms on Netflix before I go to sleep. Last night I watched It’s What’s Inside and I liked it a lot, so I hit More Like This thinking I would be given some interesting thrillers. Nope: HIMYM and Nate Bargatze. I like both of those things. They are not like this.
Sabrina Carpenter’s new album slaps. I listen to it a lot. But today I was in a rock mood at the gym. So I asked Spotify to construct a radio station from the Emptiness Machine by Linkin Park. There were like 6 Sabrina Carpenter songs. No. No. No.
