if somebody recommends something it’s probably good
Yes, but if I hear positive feedback from many people in this group, that's an even better assurance that I will like the BL, which is why I find that following the ongoing chatter (especially on new releases) is so helpful.
As to individual recommendations, for me it depends very much upon who the "somebody" is. For example, I tend to prefer cute, fluffy and feel-good BLs with a sweet love story, and I'm usually not so keen on action or thrillers. I personally love Japanese BLs (e.g. the currently airing "Kare no Iru Keisatsu" / "Living With Him") that might be slow, boring and "too Japanese" (indirectness, failure-to-communicate trope, etc.) to someone else.
So for me, it's important to learn who in this group has similar tastes and preferences, so that when I get hear a recommendation, I know right away if it's likely to click with me. From looking at your "Completed" list and ratings, I see some overlap but not nearly as much as with certain other people.
