I’ve been looking for a way to discover new music. Spotify used to be quite good, but now I feel like 10% of the stuff it recommends me is AI slop.

How do you navigate the music-scape?

    Man I wish others would wake up as you have. People have gotten so damn lazy and stupid its hard to converse with them anymore. They want brainless algorithm feeds.

      Exactly that! I have noticed the same phenomena, and it annoyed the hell out of me. All the music exists to please the algorythm.

      But more than that I noticed it on myself.

      I actually googled it, and that’s how I came across the book “Filterworld” that goes into it even further. And yes, all we’re all exposed to is the same crap that the algorythm likes, so our tastes get narrower and narrower to the same 12 songs.

      There’s an amazing quote by John Waters: “If 8 million people like it, then it’s probbably not good”
