- Comment on Why I Ditched Spotify, and How I Set Up My Own Music Stack | LeshiCodes 2 days ago:
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.
The concept of artistic quality is simply subjective. I don’t think intricately composed music or complex music make a song artistically better. To me a quality song artistically song is simply and enjoyable and impactful song. My definition of impactful is wide too it make me a song with really serious subject matter or simply a funny simple song that could me feel better mentally .
While i enjoy an journalist talking about a song and album it doesn’t mean i will trust his opinion but i prefer that than an non human telling me what it think is music i would enjoy. Someone may talk negatively about a music and explain why he hate it and i may find the think he hated is what will make me enjoy the song he dislike
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.
I read Bandcamp daily to know about some obscure genre . It is again just my preference, i will always prefer human recommendation
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!
Same but without relying on an algorithm

I am just expressing the other perspective. Not telling you to have the same
- Comment on Why I Ditched Spotify, and How I Set Up My Own Music Stack | LeshiCodes 2 days ago:
An algorithm has zero concept of artistic quality . I also want to always extends my taste and not the opposite
- Comment on Why I Ditched Spotify, and How I Set Up My Own Music Stack | LeshiCodes 2 days ago:
Discovering things via “press” isn’t free either, it takes time to read the articles, buy the magazines
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
- Comment on Why I Ditched Spotify, and How I Set Up My Own Music Stack | LeshiCodes 2 days ago:
I want to find new music. This is fundamentally impossible with the music I own.
You can simply visit the artist page on lastfm and see related artists . On Bandcamp when i buy an album i want visit the profile on the people who buy the same item . There is really many way to discover artists without spotify when you think about it
- Comment on Why I Ditched Spotify, and How I Set Up My Own Music Stack | LeshiCodes 2 days ago:
It is a lot more fun to discover artists yourself. Browsing a list of album covers and enjoy them, read short description of the album and artist then listen to the music. You also feel the send of fulfillement becausw the process becomes a personal adventure rather than a passive experience

He is right about the first sentence. The Palestinian authority oppress Palestinians while collaborating with the terrorist state of Israel and do nothing against the settler terrorists . The PA should dissolve and join the real resistance groups

- Comment on Bandcamp Clubs [new Bandcamp feature] 1 week ago:
I think the price make sense because Bandcamp need to share profit between them, the curator and the artist . You also got an exclusive interview and live session
I personally just don’t like the concept. Music is very subjective even if the curator is an talented artist and like you said you said its a mystery album that you may not like

- Comment on Bandcamp Clubs [new Bandcamp feature] 1 week ago:
I am a bit afraid that they would one day kill bandcamp daily and only keep that. I think it is also problematic that they didn’t mention compensation percentage between the curator and the artist
