We live in a time where options for the consumption of entertainment media is extremely saturated. We have never had more choice.
So much so, that the general person typically requires a significantly high level of encouragement from a variety of sources to reach the threshold of “giving in” to a recommendation by consuming the piece of media in question.
The problem is, the threshold is so high, that by the time one “gives in” they are often disappointed, as often no piece of media is able to meet the exaggerated levels of hype required to push the person to consume it in the first place.
Thus, the human race is effectively broken in our capacity to effectively deliver recommendations as there only exists two states. Underselling, and overselling.

Exhibiting or characteristic of the sort of exaggeration or outright lying that has become commonplace in recommending someone for a position.
Boss 1: Remember Jason, that former employee of yours whom I hired based on your glowing recommendation?
Boss 2 (nervously): Hmm, I have a faint recollection...
Boss 1: I'll bet you do! You told me he was an excellent worker--never left his seat for a moment!
Boss 2: Mmm. Yes, I may have said something of the sort...
Boss 1: But you didn't tell me that his seat was located in the coffee room!
Boss 2: I must admit to being slightly recommendacious.
