The entire recommendation concept is such an obvious feedback loop. "When we show you items from a-e from a set ranging from a-z, butd never anything from f-z, you click on something from a-e! So you must love those!"

Quatity_Control@lemm.ee 9 months agoThe fact that this topic has no good algorithm experience, I question if it is good enough. I think the algorithms suffer from feedback loops.

Generally you can attempt to filter that out, but it’s also why there’s frequent A/B testing of these algorithms. It’s why the algorithms always feel like they’re subtly changing at these mega corps. They’re constant trying different things to find what results come out of it.
There’s absolutely feedback though. Once something gets critical mass it becomes easier for it to get more since the algorithm is going to have it r at. FiA idly high ranking no matter what
