On account of Dan Ek’s bullshit, have cancelled Spotify this year in favour of Qobuz, and am much happier all round.
Last year’s ‘wrapped’ was just AI generated slop. After a year of listening to metal and electronica, got a top five of stuff that I’m not sure I’d listened to at all. Who would have thought the great plagiarism machine, trained to produce the most average output from any given input, would not do well on input that diverges from the mean?
I’d probably have preferred a completely random K-Pop selection; might have been an interesting listen, try out something new.
