You would think, after 20+ skips, that their algorithm would learn to not play Pepper Coyote's Blast Radius.
Apparently not.

Those algorithms have always had a thing for pushing the extreme.

You clearly have poor taste if you are skipping that :P

At AZFC '21 he (+ Fox Amoore, I think) held a panel. I dragged my friend into it, all excited. Said friend is a straight fur that had not yet heard NCLHC. The delight as we sang a few songs and, near the end, sang that one. Our polarized emotions and facial expressions were something I cherish deeply.

When the algo gaslights you into your new favorite song... and it works...

It's easier to make you like something than to find something you will actually like.

Its the reverse of the Youtube algo, which if I just let it run always takes me back to RTJ or the Foo Fighters.

That never worked on me.

Not while using smart Shuffle

X is like: You listened to Gypsy Jazz a few times on your way to work? Guess you are a jazz man now. Here's some deep cuts from the 1920s!

Oh you’ve been listening to jazz for the last half hour and then switched to your liked songs on shuffle? I’ll play jazz because I know you’re in the mood for jazz.

No! I switched playlists because I’m sick of jazz.

On the other hand Tidal will force feed you your favorite songs over and over instead of suggesting something similar but slightly less popular.

Yeah that shit was my final straw when they released it. Between sluggish behavior and instability, their focus on BeTtEr ShUfFlE was too fucking dumb to stick around.

I'm working on buying copies of all my main tracks and have otherwise fallen back to my old-ass mp3 collection from ages ago. Never going back
