Perhaps the broken implementation is human self interest? If it's not interesting or sensational then we aren't interested, thus we've trained the implementation to only give us skewed results?

Real Housewives, Kim Kardashian and TMZ should have alerted us to this.

We can have programs looking for our interests while researching the newest celebrity gossip online. Instead, we only have ones looking for Facebook's interests.

That's the issue. If you only care about your own interests, then you miss out on important things. How do you think Trump got to his world view?
