Peculiar switch in Quora
Lately I've been perusing Quora out of boredom. The random popups often yield semi-interesting material that seems to be shaped by my preferred clicks. Pretty good use of Big Data. See what the user clicks, give him more of it.
Two days ago for no obvious reason Quora required me to fill out a survey of my desired subjects. Since then, the random pops are no longer suited to my interests as expressed in the survey. Everything is about Steve Jobs, who I've never found even remotely interesting (to put it EXTREMELY MILDLY) and never tried to read about.
The only thing I know about Apple is that I've never voluntarily owned their shit or used their "services". Apple has been Satan for 40 years.
Later: The Jobs emphasis was a brief artifact. Quora has returned to its usual patterns.
