Except that they probably don't want the perception that they are tilting your recommendations or auto-filters in order to sell you stuff. It would require some fairly firm "we're not evil" policies that intuitively seem very difficult to set up.
And that sort of "deep" knowledge probably would make people even more suspicious than they currently are. For example, I don't have the perception that they look at more than a certain thread in order to choose ads. (this may be incorrect, but it would be patently false if they were selling ads related to tag titles.)
Still. I wonder what it would look like if they *did*.
