It's an interesting idea. Do you have reason to believe that people's preferences in different areas are correlated? Not saying they're definitely not, but that's my first skeptical thought.
- jacobobryant 6y agoI think some areas will be correlated and some will not. e.g. I see plenty of overlap between articles, podcasts and books, but less overlap between those things and music. I'm pretty curious to see what the correlation ends up being.
- aabeshou 6y agoI agree. I think it's definitely worth trying and maybe you can update the algorithm later to take advantage of the domain correlations you find.
- jacobobryant 6y agoThat being said, music etc. is at least correlated with demographics. I could see it being useful to a degree for recommending other content types.
- aabeshou 6y agoId be surprised if you get much signal out of demographic info.. but I would think music correlates more with general aesthetic taste which may transfer.
