Anecdotal evidence, but on LinkedIn senior dev jobs still seem to be posted for a week with only 4-5 applicants, while project/product/engineering manager positions seem to get 50 in the first hour.

It's currently ranked against what makes Facebook the most money with a secondary ranking of what advertisers want to use to target a demographic. The algorithm is fine. The marketing creeps opting to use teen girls to advertise to 55 year old men should probably change and Facebook should probably have better moral standards as well.

It's like seeing parents that sold their teen daughter to a pimp and the pimp selling the girl to an old dirty man, then asking how we can change human reproduction to prevent this. It's the society that has accepted "Sex Sells" as a moral business practice that should be changed, but anyone that attempts to do so gets labeled a puritan and dismissed.

This is the sad downside to having an impartial algorithm that's ranked only on success rate.

I've heard this argument, but it still feels like you would be giving up the only real feasible cure for many cancers out of worry for police abuse.
