At the same time! It always makes me nervous to think that someone out there is picking and choosing on my behalf, for me. You know?
Yeah, I do, especially if I'm giving over a fair amount of my decision-making power to them *and* I'm not exactly clear either what criteria they're using or what stuff they're rejecting. My ideal comfort zone is when I know enough about the total universe to be able to compare their picks to what my picks would have been, and see that they're very much the same, and that where they aren't the same I'm glad to have been exposed to something I might have passed up.
But since part of what I rely on these things to do is expose me to stuff where I don't know the whole set and don't have time to find out... yeah, there's the "what am I missing?" factor. But I figure since I'd likely miss much of it *anyway*, at least this way if VSL shows me some random thing and I like it, I might start chasing down related content on my own. It's like the tasting menu.
