Comment on Spotify (un)wrapped: Unpacking recommender algorithms
ExLisper@linux.community 10 months agoYeah, they have all this money and the algorithms are getting more stupid. I hate it when saying “play Travis” (I use voice commands in car) always plays the exact same playlist in the exact same order. They also push the most popular songs on you so if a band you like did a shitty Barbie cover you will hear it all the time. And there’s no dislike button to get rid of it. On my phone I just play custom playlists because the algorithms suck so much.
I haven’t been at the whim of spotify’s bullshit algorithm since years ago when I just stopped playing their radio at all. Maybe I’ll hear one or two songs when the album m listening to ends and I haven’t had a chance to pick what’s next, but I don’t rely on their bullshit. Every song I play I’ve chosen to play.
Look at me, stickin it to the man.

I can’t understand why people pay for this shit - how is that any better than the radio??
(I still go the cheapskate route and maintain my own library)

No commercials
Better selection of music
Only listen to songs you like
Ability to skip tracks
Ability to listen to whatever you want vs what someone else decides for you
How long of a list are you looking for because this could take all day…
