My Vinted 'Recommended for You' feed is now rubbish

I got really into Vinted over the past year and have bought some lovely things. Sold a few as well. But in the last few weeks my 'Recommended for You' feed has turned into a completely random list of stuff that is of no interest to me - lots of dog toys (I have no dog), baby stuff (I have no babies or children) and very little of the sort of thing I actually search for. I've checked all my personalisation and privacy settings ('personalised content' allowed, brands and sizes checked etc) and they're all correct and as they always have been. Anyone know what's going on? It means that I don't enjoy just browsing it for nice items any more, although I can still do specific searches when I know I want a particular thing. I suppose it means I'll spend less though.

    Likewise I have some totally random things coming up now, none of which I have ever expressed any interest in buying.

    I assume it’s due to people paying to bump their items or spotlight their wardrobe, and their items being shown to random people with no interest in buying them.

    I've never searched for books or jigsaws but they are 'recommended' to me.
