  For me it’s all of these plus the ICE recruitment ads.

    …People listen to ads with their music?

      If you don’t pay for Spotify Premium, and you don’t have an ad blocker, Spotify Free is riddled with VERY LOUD AND DISRUPTIVE ADS.

        I only used Spotify briefly years ago. I had no idea you could actually block the audio ads they send you? That’s pretty cool if so.

      Not me, but i guess so. Either way there’s no way I’m supporting that.

        My phones DNS does it. I still usually use one of the free modded APIs though, because the lack of control is annoying.

    Do you hate brown people?
    Do you enjoy cosplaying like a weekend warrior?
    Then come down to your local ICE office and get paid by following your two passions!

    I guess.. Haven't heard it.

        That’s fucked up. I’m cancelling my Spotify subscription.

  Haven’t watched it either, but it’s a great list. I’d add the embracing of AI slop to it.

  Spotify has also pushed AI music more, as it means they don’t have to pay the artists.

  Plus above, increased move to ownership/physical media as people realize continued monthly costs are not worth it.

  For me it’s the opposite. I tend to get really into a pandora station for a few months, then get tired of it and it’s almost permanently played out to me. Even going back to it years later it will feel old. For someone like me, physical media just doesn’t make sense. Paying pandora $5/month to have ad free (and DJ free) music when I’m driving or exercising is worth it to me.

    Pandora has been and hopefully will always be fabulous.

    Whatever the ‘music DNA’ system they use predates a lot of algorithms and works incredibly well.

    Whatever works, but music, or the music the algorithm provides for you, being permanently played out after a few months, does indicate the algorithm is not providing you with music of any depth.

    People used to listen to albums for many years, or longer. I still listen to music I grew up with my parents listening to.

    Like I said that’s cool if it works for you - great, but I think you might be missing out on depth. I would say this is a big check mark against streaming services.
