Is conservative leaning info spam or not spam? What about liberal leaning info?
We have seen what this leads to inside the social networks as well as YouTube, and at a macro scale I think we might want to have a shared concept of what constitutes a good search result for a given query.
At micro scale, it can seem more optimized to get exactly the type of result you want, but if we take an absurd example like an Apple Pie recipe shouldn't we all have shared understanding of what types of ingredients would make for an Apple Pie?
The shared understanding, I believe, is core to communication. If all of us have our own specific ideas of Apple Pie, then who is actually right on what an Apple Pie really is? What happens when your search results insist that an Apple Pie doesn't actually have apples in it, but instead pears?
