I didn't think of it that way. Having 2 recs from 2 different people does make sense, and is less about trusting judgement.

I'm used to only getting a small number of recs from a small number of people, and then doing a little personal research.

Usually when people ask for recs AFAIK it's an open post or they are asking more people than just one person. It's not that they don't trust their friends' judgement, it's that if two or more friends agree that you'd like some show they're more likely to be right than one person reccing one show. Not every friend sees every side of you or knows exactly what you like especially if they're in different fandoms from each other.

Um, is that how rec from friends work for you? I guess then I sort of understand why you are so judgemental towards the OP.

In my experience recs happen usually during a conversations 1 on 1 or with a group of friends. I used to have online friends like the OP too. They recommended me something, I read it/watched/played it, we talked about it. I recommended them something they didn't. They only got interested when someone else recommended it to them. And that kept on repeating until I stopped caring to keep up with their interests and we slowly drifted apart.

If you don't get it, then don't get it, but if you ignore your friend's opinion all the time, I don't think I would enjoy being your friend, because I don't think that's what friendship is about.

But then again, after reading your comments it seems like you're coming from the perspective of someone who asks for recs on places like tumblr where anyone can chime in and where people usually are not friends because they don't really talk to each other.

Ah, whatever.
