Recommendation Regret

The feeling of showing a video to a friend and realizing early on that they're not enjoying it at all, but you feel too awkward to turn it off so you both sit there trapped until the video ends.
Cameron was showing JT this awesome video but JT didn't like it all, Cameron had total recommendation regret.

Recommatage

A tendency of an employer to tell an employee that they support employee career development and new opportunities, while giving bad recommendations whenever a new opportunity arises, whether inside or outside of the organization. The reasons may range from the employee reportedly being too valuable to lose; i.e., the employee is doing a job nobody else wants to do, or the employee has technical skill nobody else possesses, to the employer wanting to punish the employee by keeping them at the job, to needing the employee to meet some kind of policy requirement.
When Paula found out she'd been turned down for another position, she realized she'd been a recommatage victim for years just so her boss could meet his office's minority quota.

The Recommendation Paradox

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.
“Jono has been telling me to play Hades like everyday for the past 6 months, I finally gave in and it wasn’t that good.”

“Well I guess that’s just the recommendation paradox for ya!”

recommendacious

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.
