I've recently loved going down "related recs" rabbit holes. I feel the algorithm is so oddly spot on in suggesting posts with similar intention and context.
Even when the recs aren't suuuper related they're usually still worth a read and share some of the same words lol plus if your rec doesn't have a ton of identical related recs, it probably means you're super unique and different!!!
Jk but isn't it crazy how when something is designed for the purpose of user experience and enjoyment rather than engagement and profit people tend to like it a lot more. It's rare these days so you love to see it

I love to share things that are good with others, Iām the gatekeeper only because I hold open the gate. Iām quite specific with my tastes and I think that Iām good at hunting for good, useful, and beautiful things. I consider the things I own and think a lot about the things I consume and the way I interact with the world so I like sharing that with others. I also really like seeing what other people like and use and taking advice from them. The recommendations of other people are always so much better than just stab in the dark searching for things. Plus, Community based on shared tastes and exchanging recommendations feels like the opposite of the individualistic self-promotion-ness of other social media. When I shared my own music, for example, it meant a lot more to get genuine positive comments from a small amount of people whose tastes I trust, than a ton of random likes from strangers. It also nicely doubles as a sort of gratitude excercise, reminding me of things I enjoy and to notice the things that make my life easier or more beautiful.

Top Recs from @VZA
Guys I finally figured this out after like 5 years of being an Apple Music subscriber. And the amount of times I almost switched to Spotify because "the recs are sm better" isn't even funny. I stayed true to Apple Music and finally discovered this station that actually plays you NEW music that you've never played before. It's called the Discovery Station and it's been on repeat for like a week for me and I'd say it's like 90% artists I've never heard before. When it plays artists I know, it's songs I've never heard. Crazzzy how I didn't know about this for so many years. So if you knew about this and never told me I'm kinda pissed off

I fear I worry too much about sounding educated and sophisticated when writing. Especially online
Don't get me wrong i love me a thoughtfully crafted sentence with some juicy meaning. But don't be scared to let a silly typo fly or forget a comma!! Maybe you don't capitalize a proper noun or something!! Can't think of a good adjective? Don't look up a synonym!!! Just put "good" or "very"!! This is not a college thesis.
I'm mostly talking about myself btw. In the right situations tho it's truly liberating to allow yourself to just let the thoughts flow through your fingers as you type online
