One reason I go mainly by recs is that the often take me to stories I would not have found otherwise.
My best pieces of fiction suffer from low hit rates as they aren't slash (I don't mind slash, read and written masses in my time, but it doesn't happen to include my best work) and often about less popular characters.
I used to find I could sell them in zines with no problem, as people trusted me as an editor to publish good stories, and selling at conventions allowed for browsing, but online they just get lost in the mass of more popular tags.
