I love not being bombarded by ads thanks to pihole and adblockers. I don’t have cable TV either. But without browsing netlifx/Hulu/etc. how do you actually find stuff to watch and discover worthwhile shows and movies to rent from my library?
The ‘popular’, ‘trending new shows’/‘up comming movies’, and ‘most anticipated’ lists in NZB360 (android app for managing the whole 'arr stack and more)
User requests via Ombi (it also has lists like above to look through)
Random titles I find on Lemmy.
Word of mouth.
Oh yeah: and IMDB lists added to radarr. Lists for various studios, and a big standup comedy list.
That’s what is mainstream popular. How do you find stuff you actually like ?
Only a system that you have trained with like/dislike and can compare with other sets of content preference similar to yours will find that precious “content similar to your preferences but you haven’t seen yet”
That’s a content recommendation engine.
Now the questions is, how can we each run our owm self hosted recommemder engine which will share our list to others automatically so that we can pool it all together and create a useful recommender engine.
Without that, we have to rely on the artificial mainstream mush like marvel movie #27

Is it impossible to like things outside the mainstream?

…and that’s why the person you originally replied to asked their question. General popularity is generally a bad proxy metric for personal preference.

Word of mouth. Friends. Internet.
Speaking of which, have you seen Barbie yet? I heard it’s pretty good.
Yeah Barbie is played by this really good actress! Looking forward to seeing her in more stuff!
