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.
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.

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.
