  • Not sure what you mean, but here are some considerations. See which is important to you and then others can opine?

    Taste (subjective. E.g. I find anything that is tetrapak vs refrigerated to have a ubiquitous off taste)

    Versatility
    (some hold up better in hot liquids than others; or have a necessary thickness for cooking or baking)

    Nutritional Profile
    (soy is usually naturally higher in protein; oat and rice milk are high carb / glucose load)

    Cost

    Quality of ingredients, including how processed they are

    Inclusion of undesirable ingredients
    (e.g. oils, thickeners)

    Ecological impact
    (Amount of water to produce e.g. almonds vs oats; over harvesting e.g. coconut)

    afa music collection, I slowly shift things from folder to folder where I gradually cull tracks which I decide I no longer need to hear. I curate rather than hoard (although I see long term value in others opting to keep everything for the sake of all; so ‘hoard’ is not intended to judge those who do in this instance).

    To find new music, I lean on Bandcamp. ofc they’re trying to sell the artist on the platform; but the blogs are often quite good, steering me to stuff I would’ve unlikely discovered on my own. If I identify a new genre that I’ve gravitated towards, I read up on it, e.g. on Wikipedia, to find other artists emblematic of the style
