Have you been living under the rock for the past 10 years? Haven't you seen what happens with recommendation engines over time?

Big tech recommendation algorithms optimize for time spent on platform, and the easiest and safest way to do that is to show you content very similar to (or literally the same) as what you've clicked before.

I don't see why you can't have an algorithm that's aware of your interests and attempts to show you novel things tangentially related to them.

You can just explain why a recommendation engine is unable to help you discover new things you didn’t know you wanted to know and try to help me understand better.

There's many abusable url endpoints within Translate or at least there were recently, but when I tried to complain about it to Google, they just ignored it and said it's intended or whatever.

from what I can remember there's pure redirects and proxied translates pages, where the page will be under translate.google.com but show the malicious page and when you then click on stuff it can continue to the abusive page directly

but in general it takes Google eternities to do anything about abuse in their products from my experience
