> I'm not sure why anyone would want a recommendation system that looks for age/gender/race as that seems fairly irrelevant to interesting content You can't understand how age/gender/race is important for finding relevant content?! These are extremely important, fundamental, attributes that underpin good recommendations. I.e. they're so important that they generally go without saying, and are baked into the corpuses (e.g. your local news site doesn't recommend articles from another country, Disney's streaming service doesn't recommend knitting shows to children, etc) Would you be happy if your Amazon Prime or Netflix account only showed items that are interesting to people aged {opposite age group to you} in {country on the other side of the world to you} who are {not your gender}? I think you'd very quickly be surprised at how much media exists in the world and would quickly realise that you're mistaken.
