That's a pretty interesting idea. Get the stuff that's really particular to your interests, undiluted by what's just generally popular.

But for abundant things we should all get the best and completely abandon second best.

It's only for scarce things like "place-to-visit" that we'd be better served with pushing the 2nd tier. 1st tier things should be a bit more crowded though: the equilibrium state is where less crowded 2nd tier is equally pleasant as more crowded 1st tier.
