The recommended parts of the site is mostly based on who you are following

surely you must mean if i'm following someone who is following someone who is following one of the 'recommendations'... currently, and this seems to have increased by combining my 'favourites' along with my 'friends' from the old site, i'm following a whopping 19 people, none of whom can be found anywhere in the "for you" types of categories it seems...

i agree with the above - i'll just simply ignore it...
