Popular Data Sets Bringing Down My Resume?

Tldr: should I avoid popular data set topics, just specific popular data sets, or neither?

I’ve heard that using common, popular, or “basic” data sets for your projects looks bad on the resume.

Idk if this means I should avoid specific popular data sets (ex/ a twitter set from Kaggle), or avoid all data sets of a popular topic (ex/ all twitter sets, whether or not from Kaggle)

I have 2 projects on my resume. One is a sentiment analysis using hotel reviews. I don’t think the specific data set is very popular, but I’m worried that the general topic of sentiment analysis on travel reviews might be too popular of a topic for a resume project, according so some.

Does my project qualify as too popular/basic to show to recruiters?

For context, I am a new grad with little relevant work experience. I figured that having a project that is very “basic” but well-made is better than a lack of projects.
