I think it's bad for people who look for interesting content, but great for zombies who go there to escape the real world. If for example you "enjoy" viral dance trends, then the typical recommendation algorithm is exactly what you want. But it doesn't carry over for content that's informative because then suddenly the you are seeking variety, not similarity. Sadly most people fall into the zombie category.
