    In general, the “what’s your favorite [x]?” questions, where [x] is movie, album, game, or the like. Few people share anything about the title, or why it’s meaningful to them, and very little discussion ensues, because, what’s to talk about? It just tends to result in a list of media (most of which I’ve heard of) connected to screen names of people I don’t know. Not usually worth reading.

    • I’m guilty of asking these questions lol.

      I just distrust google results with “TOP 10 [Movie/TV] you MUST watch”, reddit is also kinda sussy with a lot of default Word_Word_1234 names, so fediverse is the only place left to actually get recommendations.

      And the reason why ask even if there might be a similar thread in the past, is maybe there’s something new released since the time after the previous person asked.

      But yea I think people answering should provide a short description on what it’s about, otherwise its just a title in a sea of titles.
