Billions of dollars invested into machine learning and online tracking, and still I have to manually tell the thing about my interests.

> online tracking

Do the websites you visit define who you are (with zero context on why you visited it)? Do all the friends you have provide clear signal to what you want?

I don’t care how much $$$ is poured into ML, garbage in will always be garbage out. Something has to feed the model and if it’s all passive clicks with no strong signals from you, you get crappy results generally.

Those billions are focused on the company interests, not yours.
