Mumsnet Shopping feed?

[00100001]

Why is the mumsnet "shopping" feed always full of random threads that are seemingly nothing to do with shopping?

Hi Binary

Thanks for flagging this.
We just wanted to acknowledge that we've seen this and we're investigating now.

no worries . on the mobile version (webpage - not app) it's literally never anything to do with shopping - looks more like the "trending" list.

... I see the investigations are going well 😬

Thanks @00100001 we're making some further adjustments to improve the relevance of threads appearing in Shopping. If you see any you think shouldn't be there, please hit the report button and we'll take a look.

Report on the actual thread?

@00100001 Yes please, Binary. Hit the button on the thread itself and just tell us that it's appearing in Shopping and probably shouldn't be. Or just send us a screenshot here of the Shopping box with the thread names in, whichever is easier. Thanks.

There's another.

And two more...

Who wrote this algorithm??

Sex mad is still showing as is Omaze thread.

WHO IS BEING PAID FOR THIS??

Thanks, @00100001 . We'll keep passing these on.

Hello

We think the vitamins thread and the other style and beauty are suited to the topic, but we agree the others are not. When they pop up, please could you report them to us using the report button so we can get directed straight to them as and when?

Sure.

I'm amazed this is still an issue months and months later...
