Why can’t a recommendation engine do that?

Have you been living under the rock for the past 10 years? Haven't you seen what happens with recommendation engines over time?

Big tech recommendation algorithms optimize for time spent on platform, and the easiest and safest way to do that is to show you content very similar to (or literally the same) as what you've clicked before.

I don't see why you can't have an algorithm that's aware of your interests and attempts to show you novel things tangentially related to them.

I don't think you need to try to insult me.

You can just explain why a recommendation engine is unable to help you discover new things you didn’t know you wanted to know and try to help me understand better.
