They don't do that though. It's count (a la Twitter trending) then vet (via human) THEN algorithmically predict clickability.

What you are shown is what surfaced, survived vetting, and then algorithm thought you'd click on. More filter bubble.

1) Twitter trending is a complex algo too. 2) I'd expect "clickable" and "popular" to be very correlated. 3) Still beats a dictator.

I don’t see a major difference between P(click) and total clicks (i.e. “top")

I'm telling you; we just learned it is personalized at the single user level based on p(clickthrough).

I didn't know till this afternoon, assumed it was some tweak on frequency/spike and not that personalized.
