What thing do you love that you can never get anyone else to check out? (lemmy.world)

Kind of a hard question to word, but is there anything in your life you have recommended to other people but no one's ever gotten into?

I love podcasts and have friends who still thank me for getting them into this one or that one. But I've never gotten anyone to listen to My Brother, My Brother and Me. I don't know if the name is unappealing or the concept but people seem to bounce off immediately.

So what can't you get people into and why should we check it out?

I keep recommending Beau of the Fifth Column to people for balanced US and global political talking points. No one even tries it.

Added to my list. Plan to watch on my next chance (Wednesday)!

The Band Sweet as Swing. They make some great Vocal Jazz and this is actually one of my favorite albums but all the people to which I showed this didn't really like it.

Star Trek. Every friend I have only knows about Star Wars.

At least Lemmy is the home of the trekkie! But I feel it everyone I know IRL wants to talk about Star Wars movies and Ashoka and not what is the best episode of TNG lol.

For me it's sim racing and VR gaming.

All my friends care about is LOL and CSGO.

Indie games and indie musicians.

Most of my friends have the mentality of "if it's not popular, it's not worth checking out, regardless if it's actually good or not". And I hate it.
