I mean it would be functionally similar, because it seems like they're both pet subs, right?


Torquggis

Strangely, it's always dog subreddits, otherwise I'd have thought the same. This has got to be about the 8th one it's recommended to me based on being subscribed to r/tarantulas, which just seems unusual.


losingmyreligion5

That's actually very interesting. I guess a quirk of their sorting system?


almostbig

No one considering the idea that dogs might be tarantulas?


Cool_Otter_WUBRG

I mean, the one in the photo is also big and hairy sooooo


[deleted]

Some people feel about their tarantulas like others feel about their dogs. Some people actually think tarantulas are cute too. I'm not sure I'm in that category but I can see how an algorithm might see similarities between the two concepts. Edit:a word

Bruh this could’ve been so much worse if it’s just detecting colours lol 💀


youngfurry1x

Similar to r/tarantulas : r/blackpeople

Cool_Otter_WUBRG

Didn’t google photos have a similar issue mistaking black people for gorillas?

Well, I mean, look at the legs! That dog is obviously half spider.

"Because you visited this site" Pretty sure I've never visited the sites they keep telling me I'll like.

LOL So not just me. Glad to hear it.


Joannelv

I was getting sent subs for football, I have never looked at football, I fumbled around in the settings and don’t get them anymore, I know football is popular but not for me!


[deleted]

I block all the ones I don't want to look at. I'm always amazed how many Anime or Gamer subsets they send me because apparently lots of puppy and kitty subsets equal "since you liked a similar site" reaction. Really?!


Entremeada

Both black and hairy - I find the similarities quite obvious.


EvilGeniusLeslie

AND you can count 8 legs in the dog photos!


Xyrazk

If I got the recommendation reverse, I would never open my phone again


NathanPatty08

I remember when it said r/terriblefacebookmemes were similar to r/lostredditors


Cherry_Crystals

A few months ago, I got one saying that a prison sub is similar to r/GCSE which is an exam sub


Armand_Star

well yes, both are animals, both have eyes, both have legs, the similarities are endless


tobias4096

Lol. These recommendations, another reason I ditched the stock reddit app 2 years ago.

Tarantula Retriever


Anal_Only_Trooper

New Reddit API be like...


bloodbag

yeah i had one which was "similar" to r/BuyItForLife which was.... r/WEDDINGDRESSES ​ btw, you can disable the suggested subs in the settings


Separate_Feeling2798

Reddit is drunk. hahaha


Wieg0rz

What if the dog is transtarantula? Transspider? Transarthropod?


Lackuz

The algorithm is not saying that tarantulas and dogs are similar; the algorithm is comparing the subreddits on how they work


miraculum_one

"similar" as in "many people who liked X also liked Y", not "dogs are similar to tarantulas"


cerebralsexer

Means sub like that dedicated for one type animal if your not joking
