I predict they'll get my order wrong or leave something off despite charging me and deliver my food cold.

#32I'm yet to have the 'wow' moment from any recommendation service.... Netflix, Amazon, Deliveroo... At best I get the 'meh why not'. It's obviously a hard problem to solve.
What about Youtube? Im surprised to not see them mentioned in any of the comments under yours. For all their faults, I regularly am recommended amazing(ly interesting to me) videos.
I read that something like 60 hours of video are uploaded to YouTube every second, so I find it hard to believe that the best stuff they can recommend is the same handful of 9 year old videos I've already watched sprinkled with dogshit right wing American political content.

Do you order anything besides coffee? Maybe I'm misunderstanding, but why would you wait 13 minutes for someone to drop off $1 of distinctly average coffee? (I say this as someone who has ordered McDonald's through DoorDash before.)
It's a $12 minimum order where I am anyway. So you pay $12 whether you have $12 of items or not. So, I am guessing GP has a couple egg-mcmuffins in there somewhere.
Yep. I get egg mcmuffins with my distinctly average coffee.

#34I see posts like this and just think that as far as I can tell DD's recommendations are: Ads Ads Ads Shitty place nobody would want to eat Shitty place nobody would want to eat Shitty place nobody would want to eat Shitty place nobody would want to eat Oh look something interesting
Relevancy is hard!

Soundcloud has amazing recommendations, which is the best feature of the platform in my view. It's so easy to find great music that's related to tracks you already like. I have found literally thousands of new tracks from its 'Station' feature.

I get McDonald's delivered all the time. Can't beat 13 minute delivery for coffee in the morning.
My coffee routine only takes 8 mins from whole beans to v60 pour over, most of that the kettle warming.
How many minutes of active work, though? Presumably OPs 13 minute wait time involves about 30 seconds of work and 12 1/2 minutes of doing whatever they feel like.
(in any case let’s be honest, you’re both optimising for very different parameters. Which is fine!)

I feel like Netflix gave up. All I get is shit I already saw.
