I continue to find "Explore" puzzling. For sure "interestingness" is supposed to be the driver, but I have been amazed at the number each day that are interesting in only a limited sense. Today, for example, the top 100 included a nicely centered photo of the cover of a book on origami.

It may be that much of the dross (my photo included) might be manually curated out during the day, but I would hope that the algorithm might also be adjusted to be a little less friendly to school bus documentary snapshots.
