Saved mentors and your interests
Keeping a shortlist, and the screen that shows you what Revquix has worked out about you - including how to correct or switch it off.
Two things shape what you see when you browse mentors: the shortlist you keep deliberately, and the interests Revquix has worked out from what you do here. The first is entirely yours; the second is yours to correct, and this page covers both.
Saving a mentor#
Save anyone from their profile or from a listing. Your shortlist is at Saved mentors.
It is private - a mentor is not told they have been saved - and it costs nothing. Comparing four people properly is much easier from a shortlist than from four browser tabs.
Your interests#
Settings → Your interests shows what Revquix has worked out about you from what you have done here, and lets you change it.
It feeds recommendations - which mentors and services get suggested, and what turns up first when you browse without a query.
Every row says why#
Each interest is shown with the reason it is there. An unexplained claim about somebody is unfalsifiable, and a list of them is exactly what makes personalisation feel like surveillance.
Interests that are being held but are not currently influencing anything are shown too, and labelled as such, rather than quietly hidden.
Three controls that do different things#
You can also export what is held, along with the rest of your data - see exporting your data.
Correcting it is the useful thing#
Adding and removing is the highest-quality signal in the system, because it comes from the only person who actually knows the answer. Two minutes there improves what you are shown more than any amount of browsing.
