Not surprising at all. I've been actively logging into Google and confirming my visits at various restaurants. I've been using it to track my past activities, and I hope it can provide more accurate restaurant recommendations for me. It has been quite useful. Video recommendations on Youtube are also way more accurate than any other service I've ever seen. If you don't mind sharing your personal data, you do get better service over time.

Awesome, now you're stuck in a bubble where serendipity will no longer play a role in you stumbling upon interesting videos you NEVER thought you'd like, same for restaurants, websites and who nows what more?

On a more serious note, I'd argue that you do not get a better service, your profile becomes near to perfect and your experience online, and increasingly offline, will stagnate.
