it's good for connecting folks new to the platform. there's a legitimate, good reason for it.

but make it opt-in. shoving people into the limelight without their consent is bad bad bad bad bad bad bad.

thank you, this has been Crom's take. please stand by for alternative programming.

@vahnj I can definitely see that point, but then how do you seed it other than random or "already popular"? If this is what we want, let people tag the kinds of stuff they talk about in their profiles, and build the recommendations off of common or related tags.

@literorrery this is a good idea. Really there needs to be a lot of user control over who gets recommended under the hood so they don't just uselessly get recommended the same people over and over
