Online Recommendations

[unspeakablehorror]

I feel like I have read and watched a much larger amount of things recommended by people I know on social media than I have people I know in person.  Part of it might be a matter of taste in that people I know in person may not share the same tastes that I do.  But as I've read and watched things that are quite outside of what I typically read or watch due to such recommendations or positive reviews on social media, I think there is more to it than that.

I think the multimedia and persistent format of social media makes it easier for people to show and discuss things that appeal to them about a given work, and also make it easier for me to absorb this information.
