there’s nothing boomer about it.
for me algorithms are wrong far more often than human recommendations. it’s not even close.
i go to my local music store or friends and get almost consistently solid recs while youtube’s and spotify’s are just ridiculously bad.
same with movies, books, restaurants, etc… recs from people i know are just better. even better when the people are wonks, e.g., recs from actual film geeks rarely let me down.
and it’s a significant difference. it isn’t even close.
liek 6 months ago i completely switched to solely human recommendations and it’s drastically improved not only what i consume, but it’s been kinda rad to to find those kind of connections again.
