Got it. My understanding is tiktok is on another level but have never used it.
It would surprise me if no one was doing content rotation strategies for specific user segments. similarity is a signal so is dissimilarity.
then, there will be spots that the algorithms fall apart.
But, I see what you are saying and yeah I've experienced similar, and agreed, even something simple like 'popular' has issues when driven by a score, as it can just maximize broad emotional response.
"This made me angry", does better than "this made me satisfied in life"
