The 'Top Recommendations' are often weird too, but at least tangentially related?

I've wondered about this sort of thing too. Just the other day I got an email in which the top three recommendations were all recent purchases. If their algorithm truly didn't know about the purchases then that was amazingly accurate, but if it did know then what do they think they're doing?
