basically every meaningful connection i make with people stems from a shared interest in one of these things. i think about it a lot and i'm not sure why exactly it is, but the people i'm drawn to most all seem to have common tastes. maybe the media we consume is a reflection of who we are as people, and this is what i'm seeing?

It's all a social thing surely. you see what other people do and how others react to it, and that informs your opinions and how you react to others. Also if you try something and observe others reactions, even passively, you'll then continue to do things or not. This would lead to more interaction with / exposure to the thing, and acquired taste kicks in.
So it's a reflection of what other people around you like, and a reflection of the volume of things that are around you, a combination of the two and a bit of special sauce that I haven't figured out yet, but definitely isn't money

I’ve thought about this idea of amalgamation throughout my existence. I then think about how those people who have those interests, ideas or habits I’ve adopted got it from someone else.
It’s like art when people are influenced by others’ work to create something. It’s not a complete copy but something inspired. How beautiful!!

It occurs to me... that the posts I most connect with are ones where people unfurl their weirdo habits, values, inner lives (i love the "crush" genre of pi posts), ways of living, likes, dislikes, life philosophical points of view etc. I do treasure proper recs with an object, i.e. a new record or book or 8 hour youtube video, but I find myself really moved when someone shares how they live a good life. appreciating!!
