I genuinely don't like blackbox relevancy algorithms.
Whenever they're introduced, there's a certain class of influencer who gets off on gaming them.
They're not talking to people, they're now talking to machines. And things gradually get shittier and shittier.
Google has made the most complex relevancy algorithm known to humanity, and look what's happened to their search engine.
