Inspiration/For You recommendations
When scrolling to the bottom of a wishlist to see if there's anything else I should add the recommendations are... junk? I'm not sure what the algorithm in use is for recommending items to add to a wishlist, but it seems like nonsense at the moment.My wishlist has a lot of tools, computer components, generally nerdy stuff- but it's recommending that I add a... shower cap. And lotion. Lots of beauty supply stuff honestly which is weird.I'm wondering if that's because it's accounting for the content of ALL of my wishlists in there, which is skewing the recommendations because I also have shared wishlists for my family/kids. A potentially easy fix if that's the case is to have that For You section only look at the items in the currently viewed wishlist, rather than all of the lists for that user.

Hi Charles, thanks for your feedback. We are working on improvements. This will take a few weeks of implementation and testing but new and improved recommendations should appear over the next months. Best, Florian
