Netflix, Spotify, Facebook etc probably aren’t p-hacking and only sharing subsets of models...

The replication crisis is about research methodology and incentives, not about psychology.

I think we agree. My thoughts are that we might be tempted to think that the subject matter (quantification of mental phenomena) is inherently intractable and that's why there's been an issue with replication. Perhaps part of it. But then we have the social media giants.

It's a bit of a chicken and egg scenario - are they multi-billion dollar companies because they're good at psychology, or are they good at psychology because they have unlimited money to pour into R&D, huge & priceless datasets, and little to no ethical oversight of experiments?
-
In many ways they're not good at psychology though; most of their models can predict human behaviour very well, but even the data scientists have little idea how they do it. Most machine learning models like neural nets are almost impossible to understand.

Modeling preferences for music/movies can be done successfully independent of any psychological traits (eg, solving the engineering problem of which observations are like one another without understanding why). Also, plenty of psych work is easily replicated! ("crisis" is hype)

Alternative hypothesis: they make so much money that throwing a few million dollars down the tube due to spurious correlations goes unnoticed.

But that kind of research is mostly in the behaviorist tradition. The mind is treated mostly as a black box, and the goal is to predict output given input.
