recommenders

People who advocate

Recommenders are people or systems that suggest options based on preferences or needs.

A friend who tells you what to watch is a recommender; so is the algorithm that populates your streaming queue.

The term appears frequently in tech contexts: The recommender showed me movies similar to ones I'd liked.

Recommender systems power much of online shopping and content discovery.
