Why would you use recommendation systems?
Having a recommendation engine makes browsing content easier.
Plus, a great recommendation system helps users find things they
wouldn't have thought to look for on their own.
You think you have to sprinkle ML on everything.
It might seem that way, but in reality, there are much better reasons
to use ML.
You want to direct users to sponsored items.
Yikes, this is not a great reason to use any ML solution.

candidate generation, scoring, and re-ranking

These elements are related to recommendation systems, but they
are not primary components.
matrix factorization, DNN, and reranking
While re-ranking is a component, matrix factorization and DNN are types
of candidate generators.
