This paper argues for a shift in recommender systems evaluation, moving beyond the traditional user-centric approach to consider multiple stakeholders. The authors propose a framework that accounts for the diverse interests and impacts on various parties involved in the recommendation process, aiming for more holistic and equitable system assessments.
