You're correct, and that's a conscious choice I make. I estimate whether I'll like something by the opinion I have of who buys it. It's a shortcut and something of a logical fallacy, but more often than not, it's pretty accurate. However, I agree that it is at the cost of missing out on great stuff that not-so-great people happen to like.
The alternative would be to sample everything myself, and I don't have the time nor the patience to be disappointed too often.
