That's a pretty interesting idea. Get the stuff that's really particular to your interests, undiluted by what's just generally popular.

It's only for scarce things like "place-to-visit" that we'd be better served with pushing the 2nd tier. 1st tier things should be a bit more crowded though: the equilibrium state is where less crowded 2nd tier is equally pleasant as more crowded 1st tier.
