No, I disagree. On the Recommended tab for my TV show folder, the rows are:
- "Recently released" and "Recently added", which I agree are useful — but don't belong in a separate tab, as I always sort by recentness.
- "Start watching": Shows it thinks I should start watching; why? I know what I have and what I intend to watch.
- "Rediscover": Shows I have started watching but not finished, pointless. I could just browse.
- "More in [random genre]": Pointless, I know my library, it's my library.
- "Top rated TV": Ditto.
- "Recently played": Never use this, doesn't belong under "Recommended".
It's all just pointless stuff, and not appropriate as a default view when I'm navigating into my own library.
Mostly to try and help save time, eg to suggest you could resume a couple of recently watched episodes that you haven’t finished yet.
Or that you might want to watch something that was just added to the library in the last few minutes.
In most cases this has proved useful to me and I’ve found it to be a timesaver.
