alt Hacker News> I have literally not rated anything at all, ever since YouTube removed dislikes, and my recommendations are working fine.
How can you know how green the grass is on the other side of the fence if you've never even seen it?
Isn't it like Shrodinger's Grass, or Green Eggs and Ham, at that point?
(And if your recommendations are working fine, then what is this "AI slop" that you're complaining about? I don't find any of that on my end.)

You only assume recommendations are based on ratings, but you don't know. And I have seen your metaphorical green grass, because actual ratings were a thing up until about 4 years ago, remember?

Good for you. The true crime genre has been hit hard by AI slop.

Fantastically apt, IMO. Kudos.
