I was somewhat involved in this project. Can't get into details but there were other factors/efforts not mentioned which allowed us to scale this while reducing cost per recommendation. As someone mentioned, I do believe we benefited from a price drop over time.

Regarding the monthly scale mentioned in article–we are way beyond that now.

A lot of really smart people worked on this and it was fun to watch unfold.
