hmm, I wonder when they switched to machine learning though, because I remember some very mean technical analysis of their recommendation systems from 10+ years ago, where the problems were more the problems you would expect from naive averages and not taking into account outliers...

so maybe someone read that review and the recommended solutions and said screw that, we're going to do an ML solution, that'll show em.

Note: state of internet search being what it is not going to try to find that review of recommendation systems early Saturday morning before coffee.
