Algorithmic music is incredible for discovery and that’s about it.

This may be true for most but was not for me. I was on streaming services for two years and discovered maybe five new bands. I went back to my old process of discovery (reading magazines, reading online reviews) and discover many more every year.

Algorithms tend to pump you full of similar sounding artists. I’d rather be challenged as a listener and grow than be stuck in a same sounding culdesac.
