I am trying to change the recommended algorithm to stop suggesting these. I do not have anything against this genre as a whole, but I want the recommendations to be something I am more likely to read and this just got caught in the crossfire
Liked it!
LIKEThis likely had the original tag as the romance genre. There is something wierd with the recommendations that likes (or at least used to like) to get stuck in recommending romance and only romance (with a bit of lgbt and historical - which are still tend to be subtypes of romance). Rating the genre low would lessen the hold and let the recommendations shift to other genres, but it would cycle back every so often, so you would have to do negative reviews again. I also think (but never bothered to verify) if you rate a book, it will stop recommending it. I am not sure if it is specific to bad reviews or if it could be any review, but it is not worth the time to figure it out, and I just wanted to get out of the cycle and that did it Currently, it looks like they are breaking up the romance genre and probably contemporary romance as well since I have not seen that tag in a while. I think the repeated romance recommendations are the reason for it.
