I mean, real life recommendations are more often than not that too. I mean, ones you get asking friends.
Comment on "Sponsored recommendations": I pay for Spotify Premium, and yet somehow I'm still the product?

Advertisements are now pretending to be recommendations

I would bet that on Spotify most people discover music by listening to personalized generated playlists and not by waiting for ads to guide them. Have you ever used Spotify?

Haven’t ads always been recommendations in some roundabout way? Regular ads are technically just a company recommending their own product/service to you (whether you need it or not).
