We could save the effort of fixing it by removing it. It's always seemed weird to me that we highlight offerings from one random publisher.

Maybe related to #2628 @cdrini @jdlrobson thoughts?

Could you post a screenshot, @BrittanyBunk @guyjeangilles ? This is what it looks for me:

I notice it changing every ~day or so, I think.

I'll post another screenshot tomorrow as well to see if it's changed

It's the same

Me too. I'd rather see another genre put in there, like recipes or something.

Forgot to update this, but it does look like it's changing (here it is today). I'm closing this specific issue; feel free to open a new one for adding a new type of carousel :+1:

Do we have a root cause or a link to the fix?

The issue was that the carousel was not randomizing; the picture above indicates that it _is_ randomizing; so closing this as can't repro.

@cdrini Thanks. I do notice that it is now randomizing. I'll start a new issue for new carousels. Thanks for helping this in the right direction.
