Going to dedicate a whole post in response to this super interesting and thought provoking substack!
As someone who is in the recommendation space I guess you could say - for some of us the research spiral and choosing the best of is not because we want it to be the identifier but because we don’t want to make the decision again. So many recommendations these days feel almost flippant because someone liked them - that the recommendations don’t have authentic and lived support. They are paid or just a part of a constructed identity. I just simply wana know what pan I should buy for my kitchen that won’t give me cancer but I can easily cook eggs! Recommendations that help ease our brains I’m for!
