Comment on Why I Ditched Spotify, and How I Set Up My Own Music Stack | LeshiCodes
Creat@discuss.tchncs.de 1 day agoSee my other reply to tofu. Not the same thing. You just couldn’t do what these services do even 2 decades ago. You could discover things, but at a very different pace.

I don’t know about you but this is so fun for me it bring me joy and fulfillment as opposed to being fed by algorithm

It’s the opposite for me. I don’t want to read about music. I just want to listen to music that I don’t know yet but an likely to like. I don’t want too dig around. The algorithms you dislike do something that no article or podcast can: give me personally tailored recommendations.

An algorithm has zero concept of artistic quality . I also want to always extends my taste and not the opposite

I’m aware it has no concept of artistic quality. But I also don’t care about the quality of music, especially if perceived by some journalist. I only care if I like music. Some of it is intricately composed, masterfully performed. Some is pop, or generic/simple house.
I have discovered entire genres with the algorithms you seem to think only give narrowing recommendations. Some people probably listened to those and something I liked.
Let me repeat again: I have discovered many, many artists for me that I literally would have no realistic chance of every hearing about in any other way. Ever!
