So what?
Either it appeals to my interests or it doesn't. Why should I care if a million other people get it recommended as well?

Consider that your experience isn’t universally applicable to everyone.
As a lifelong musician, I find it to be a great resource for discovery. I really lean into curating what I do and don’t want to see and it delivers amazing results frequently.
It’s also a nice counterpoint to recs I get from other sources: streaming services, friends, strangers, and good ‘ol fashioned digging.
