If their current app is slow and unpolished, I don't know why buying an unrelated app for its recommendation algorithm is going to help them.
I never really got the hype with Artifact to begin with. I tried it when it launched, and it seemed like... any other news reader? Recommendation algorithms are not a hot new capability of AI, we've had them forever. I'm not convinced Artifact has any special sauce that Yahoo couldn't have reproduced themselves. Is this acquisition just for PR?
