What was your method of finding new anime when you first got into anime/didn't know of that many anime you'd want to see?

Mostly random recommendations from people that I knew back then, and a lot of those recs are absolutely hated by me even to this day lol and sometimes it was just the result of experimentation and not being picky enough. If there is something with an extremely low score on my list, it's almost guaranteed that it's one of those hated things from the past. They definitely brought the most "ruin" to my MAL mean score.

i only got into anime recently and i used youtube to find recomendations
first i discovered trash taste and used the podcast to get recommends but i quickly noticed that we have vastly differing tastes so then i just turned to google and searched stuff like "horror anime" or something, then i just looked through crunchyroll libarary judging stuff by the cover u know; finally i gave a chance to myanimelist search functions and ughhh here i am

Since I started watching anime in the late 90s/early 2000s, what I watched was pretty much what came on regular cable TV or sometimes a VHS and eventually CDs I'd borrow from friends of stuff they burned/recorded on them and recommended. Although I did find some early days pirated sites in the early 2000s as well and watch some stuff on them. Sometimes we had to download stuff via torrents.

I'd go to the mall's video store or comic shop and buy whatever seemed interesting, but that was when OVA's like Devil Hunter Yohko Hunter and New Cutey Honey were out and that was back in the 90's.
Nowadays, Youtube (Watchmojo), MAL or if anyone gives praise to an anime I haven't seen, I'll check it out if time permits.
