But it does do the thing you just described (at least to some degree)?

I suppose it rests on what is meant by "completely different" but I've been relatively satisfied by the variety.

By “completely different” I mean something that I haven’t encountered before. Something completely outside of and unrelated to my current interests. The old internet allowed for this kind of random discovery. The problem with curated content is that if you do manage to find something new and different, the algorithm will then start serving you related things. There’s no way to truly “wander the stacks” as it will keep showing similar and related content.
