How does this work?

These recommendations are based on real voting data, not algorithms. When thousands of people vote on their favorites, patterns emerge — people who love Close Encounters of the Third Kind consistently tend to also love certain other things. The "strength" score shows how much more likely fans of Close Encounters of the Third Kind are to enjoy each recommendation compared to the average person.

Unlike algorithmic recommendations, these connections come from actual human preferences. A high strength score means the connection is genuine — not just because two items share a category, but because the same people genuinely love both.
