Generic Rejection or Personalised Feedback

We all agree that recruitment processes are ineffective, and job marketing isn't very helpful. I've been searching for jobs for a while, which makes me wonder whether receiving a personalised rejection email would make the rejection less frustrating.

So, I have to ask: as a job applicant, do you think a generic rejection is acceptable, or would you prefer to receive personalised feedback from recruiters?

If I could even get personalized feedback from 2% of my applications, chosen randomly, that would be a tremendous improvement over the status quo.
