Even Instagram/Youtube's recommendation algorithms, which I find decent, tend to have a lot of recency bias.

This is probably not a bug but rather an optimization to ensure I spend more time on screen. (chances are higher I like the stuff I most recently watched)

Which goes toward the skewed incentives problem - what they want to happen is not what I want to happen.

I find value in being reminded of old content I've been interested in.
