Yes and no. The algorithm works upon manually-defined tags, and one of the points being made is that those are too broad, possibly because the people tagging don't have enough insight into particular populations.
The example given of the person who got recommendations for films with lesbian sex scenes after watching Blue is the Warmest Color is relevant. Yes, the film has such scenes. But it's also won the Palme d'Or, yet that isn't tagged and therefore used by the algorithm, when (I'd say) it's much more likely to have been the reason for a particular person to watch it.
