You would think, after 20+ skips, that their algorithm would learn to not play Pepper Coyote's Blast Radius.
Apparently not.

Those algorithms have always had a thing for pushing the extreme.

You clearly have poor taste if you are skipping that :P

At AZFC '21 he (+ Fox Amoore, I think) held a panel. I dragged my friend into it, all excited. Said friend is a straight fur that had not yet heard NCLHC. The delight as we sang a few songs and, near the end, sang that one. Our polarized emotions and facial expressions were something I cherish deeply.

When the algo gaslights you into your new favorite song... and it works...

[-] Delphia@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

Its the reverse of the Youtube algo, which if I just let it run always takes me back to RTJ or the Foo Fighters.

It's easier to make you like something than to find something you will actually like.

[-] AtomfriedMegaforce@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

That never worked on me.

Not while using smart Shuffle

X is like: You listened to Gypsy Jazz a few times on your way to work? Guess you are a jazz man now. Here's some deep cuts from the 1920s!

I've never willingly and knowingly activated smart shuffle, but one day all my playlists that I have set to shuffle had it enabled.

Between bullshit like that and the annoying in-app notifications for concerts that can't be disabled, I've just about had it with Spotify. I subscribe for ease of use, but at this point it might be just as easy to use Spotube or something

On the other hand Tidal will force feed you your favorite songs over and over instead of suggesting something similar but slightly less popular.

Yeah that shit was my final straw when they released it. Between sluggish behavior and instability, their focus on BeTtEr ShUfFlE was too fucking dumb to stick around.

I'm working on buying copies of all my main tracks and have otherwise fallen back to my old-ass mp3 collection from ages ago. Never going back
