What thing do you love that you can never get anyone else to check out? (lemmy.world)

Kind of a hard question to word, but is there anything in your life you have recommended to other people but no one's ever gotten into?

I love podcasts and have friends who still thank me for getting them into this one or that one. But I've never gotten anyone to listen to My Brother, My Brother and Me. I don't know if the name is unappealing or the concept but people seem to bounce off immediately.

So what can't you get people into and why should we check it out?

My weird fetishes

why should we check it out?

Uuuhh...

In reality, tabletop games, including RPG. There's even a local, free event that happens every 2 months, but out of everyone I invite, nobody shows up, not even the people who say "I'd like to play once". It really saddens me how many people reply with "I don't have the skill to play, it's too complicated", actually meaning "I doubt I can develop the skill I think is needed to play and I'm not willing to try" whenever I get excited about RPGs.

The Band Sweet as Swing. They make some great Vocal Jazz and this is actually one of my favorite albums but all the people to which I showed this didn't really like it.

Indie games and indie musicians.

Most of my friends have the mentality of "if it's not popular, it's not worth checking out, regardless if it's actually good or not". And I hate it.

For me it's sim racing and VR gaming.

All my friends care about is LOL and CSGO.
