Yes but it may be because no one buys my books to begin with so they can't really have any Also Boughts.

Mine are there, but they've been pushed to the bottom. Now "Books you may like" are at the top. Is this new?

I started seeing that on the dot CA site a few weeks ago.  And never are any of the "Books you may like" something I would ever consider, so their algos are utterly wrong.  But my sales on dot CA are down compared to the long-term average.  Amazon needs to make their developers wear mittens, or go play with popsicle sticks.

Oh yeah, they are at the bottom.

So on my psych thriller the "Books you might like" are also psych thrillers. On the WW2 fiction books you might like, also psych thrillers.

I never buy books on Amazon (except for Simon's) I get them from the library. So I guess they are going by browsing history maybe?
