>>4492672Being a blackbox doesn't give it a justification to run uncontrolled. The purpose of the algorithm is to make you watch more content. This is a case of content being recommended that isn't watched or even actively reported when seen by a certain group of people. The algorithm is adaptive enough to learn this. Thus it must recommend other content.
Then again, judging by this thread, it's not like everyone hates having their oshi's roomate thrown at them. So maybe the algorithm does its job right.
I suppose hardcoding doesn't work for the reason you explained, but as I said, it does filter, and I don't think that's a process beyond the ability of human comprehension, and it's definitely testable.
>>4492747That's fair, I didn't know there was a policy like that, thanks.
