Comment on Spotify caught hosting hundreds of fake podcasts that advertise selling drugs
MolecularCactus1324@lemmy.world 15 hours agoThe recommendations are hard to beat, but I hate how these moderns treating platforms make you a passive listener. My most enjoyable music listening days were when I actively managed my music collection.

I haven’t even thought about recommendations - I’ve never used the recommendation system on any music streaming platform. I’m fully hands-on with my music. I actively use the internet to discover new artists and curate my own playlists and library.

I do a bit of both. For awhile I was relying just on algorithms but switching to primarily active management the past few years has really been invigorating. Renewed my excitement for music. When I do use algorithms to discover some new stuff it’s being fed mostly from my own curationnwhich is so much better of getting stuck in a loop where the algorithm recommends something, you select some favorites and then it recommends off those. This starts to really dull and homogonize your library after awhile.

I need to go back to this, never should’ve given it up honestly.
