   @Xeraser to be fair, it recommends the most popular stuff by default.
   And, of course, by recommending the most popular stuff, it becomes more popular.
   
   This is an interesting phenomenon, and the "most popular things keeps being popular in a way we can't understand" can be observed in other stuff that doesn't have any nefarious jewish purpose behind it. For instance, Linux distributions.
   
   MX Linux is the most popular Linus distribution in Distrowatch for a very long time already.
   "What is MX Linux?", you may ask. Well, MX Linux is a very boring distribution that very few people use. It's basically Debian Stable wih XFCE pre configured and a couple configuration tools.
   It's a very niche thing, because anyone who needs to run something like Debian Stable usually has the knowledge necessary to... just run Debian Stable. So it technically shouldn't be popular.
   
   But one day it appeared in the Distrowatch rank. And it started climbing the Distrowatch rank. And now it won't leave the top of the Distrowatch rank. And that happened and still happens because people open Distrowatch, see MX Linux at the top of the list, ask themselves "WTF is MX Linux" and then click the link to see it. And this keeps it at the top of the rank.
