What is the difference between で出てきた and に出てきた

Question

For example:

おすすめで出てきました

and

おすすめに出てきました

What is each particle doing?

Answer 1

おすすめで出てきました means “It came up as a recommendation.” I don’t know how to grammatically explain this usage of で.

おすすめに出てきました more concretely refers to a place where that thing came up, such as a list or section. It may be translated as “It came up in recommendations.”
