Nah, shovelware doesn’t survive very long. We learned this through the “indiepocalypse”, where the number of games that could sustainably release and keep companies afloat eventually leveled out.
In my experience, Steam’s recommendation engine has gotten way better over the years, and there’s a good chance you can find something you were looking for just by filtering by the tags that interest you. I was looking for another co-op roguelike after Streets of Rogue, and those tags were enough to point me to Vagante, which I ended up liking even better.

Idk, but I still have trouble finding interesting indie titles on my own because of just how many absolutely terrible titles are out there.

I’ve never had any luck with algorithmic recommendations actually helping me find anything I’m interested in. I guess it depends on the person.
