It's probably just a personal quirk, but few things are as vicerally upsetting as looking for something that you know exists-- and having a machine "suggest" something more popular because... well most of the time that's what a person would be looking for.

It feels like a little voice whispering "what are you some kind of weirdo?"

(I'm probably making too much of this. But I'm fixated now.)
