Yep my wife loved the french band Deluxe's "Flowers", amazing track right enough
The algorithm started suggesting stuff by a guy called Chinese Man, very odd, not our usual stuff but strangely likeable
Turns out he's the producer for Deluxe. Listened to a couple of his tracks that are kind electronica, the algo suggests more electronica which we skipped most of, the algo figures out what style we liked in that niche (to us) category.
And that's just one example, I've discovered hundreds of bands because of it
As bad as Enshittification is, some bits of it are incredible
