True. But even that can be tackled in recommendation algorithms (or attempted). The main issue I see is that the companies that produce them don’t have their goals aligned with yours and rerank results to benefit their bottom line.
That said, I’ve gotten much better recommendations for books, music and games from people online and friends than from any such system. Worst case the recommendation is not great and that is still an opportunity to talk to the person who recommended it.
I said “via algorithms and AI slop”, two seperate ways of finding music, “AI slop” meaning Spotify-style playlist nonsense.
Also, algorithms create feedback loops, where popular things get recommended more, even among specific niches.
