I’m in the camp of “relying on an algorithm to serve you music it wants promote is an awful thing” but people have been trained that reliance on algorithms telling them what to consume is the only option.
i mean, it’s not that different from listening to the radio. they have the stack of stuff that the station has been paid to play, and then the stuff the DJ wants to play, and you have to get through one before you can get to the other.
I don’t disagree. My music preference was shaped by my cousin marrying a Mormon and giving me several CD spindles of rock music he wasn’t allowed to listen to anymore.
Although that was more of an expansion of my repertoire because I was already into nu metal as a kid.
dude, i HATE numetal it’s so fun. like i love it but i don’t like to listen to it. Who are your favorites? I’ve been following Jerry Horton since the 90s, he’s an awesome guitarist.

It can be a bad thing if you rely solely on it.
But it’s really not any different than finding new music on the radio.
I’ve been of the same opinion about getting all of one’s music from the radio since I was very young, as well hahaha
