a visual metaphor for why i hate algorithmic feeds finally hit me
@hikari what is the old fashioned way, how does it work
The order of importance that I use to look for music is the following:
- Recommendations from people you trust who talk about music (I watch Fantano more for that than for the reviews).
- Recommendations from friends and mutuals.
- Search for songs in the same genre as other songs you already like / Search for songs by the same artists who made songs you already like.
- Music discussion forums (Reddit and such).
- Listen to the radio or any other media that doesn't work with algorithms.
It takes time and effort, but is highly rewarding. Also it creates an emotional connection with the music you hear, it feels more like your music.
