This is the functionality that really drove me away from social platforms, other than Mastodon. I prefer human curation over automatic recommendations for a couple of reasons:

1) Human curation creates less suggestions which makes it more manageable to go through

2) If I trust the source of the recommendation and know what they like, I can adjust my trust in the recommendation itself

3) A friend telling me something they enjoy is not motivated by money
