The implicit assumption here is that popularity is a good heuristic for relevance. Typically music recommendation systems will take popularity into consideration, but it is not the primary ranking factor.

Something similar but with a different angle - Urban DJ https://urbanpoll.com/dj

Every day people order the top 5 songs and nominate one another song and a new topic. That way, we always have songs on the same topic. When there are more than 5 songs nominated on the same topic - people filter them out with one extra step.

It's fun, and it's been running since Nov 2022 https://urbanpoll.com/dj/rounds. I'd be happy if more people joined. I'm the "founder" of this little side project.

Why Ranked Choice Voting and not an absolute score ? curious
This is awesome! How many regular users would you say you get?
> popularity is a good heuristic for relevance , but it is not the primary factor.

Is the statement not valid for products too ?

It totally is. Take Notion for example.
