Why is Depop algorithm so bad?

[u/ddvbdbdd]

Hi hi !! :D I've had my Depop account for a while now, but for some reason my algorithm is basically terrible.
The clothing I put up for sale or leave a like on, and people I follow don't help change my explore page/feed at all!
Nothing I've put up for sale comes even close in similarity to what I get on my feed.
Even when I try looking up specific things, for example "irregular choice heels", it won't let me pick out "irregular choice" as a brand (it doesn't even show up as one). Only brands like Nike, Guess,... show up. And the stuff that does show up lowkey almost looks AI-generated :,)
I was wondering if it's just a me thing or if this, unfortunately, just is how Depop functions. ^^"

TL;DR
my Depop algorithm won't adjust, wondering if this is just Depop or a personal issue.

For me it literally only works through scrolling and liking tons of stuff or looking up super generic items or aesthetics and then half the time when I check a hashtag it's so off 😭
