My own experience is that there is no correlation between online rankings and my own enjoyment.<p>I enjoy some higly-rated popular movies, and I hate many of them with a passion. Many of my favorite movies, which I would consider truly great, are somewhere around 4-6 on IMDb&#x2F;metacritic because they don&#x27;t have mainstream appeal.<p>Suggestion engines like NetFlix or Spotify don&#x27;t seem to do any better at predicting what I like.<p>There&#x27;s no accounting for taste.
