My friends and I will swap recommendations, or I’ll read what people online suggest to those that like X book/film/show. I download it. If it’s good, I save it to my collection to share with others, if not, I delete. This method has worked out great for me and I never search for too long.

No effect on my decision to downvote. I rarely downvote anyway, so the extra second it takes isn’t much effort.
