The best music curation algorithm was on Google Play Music back before they canned it, and, hot insider information here: they didn’t actually make a music algorithm, their team was full of music nerds who kept making playlists, and they just made a bunch of folders of their nonsense.
It wasn’t the algorithms, it was the external resources that people were using that led people to find albums that boosted them in algorithms. You’re not gunna’ algorithm you’re way out of mass-conformity and blandness.
I don’t see why a tiktok algo couldn’t effectively find what you like and what you don’t like just as well as it does for video content based on how much of the video you watch, what you skip, whether you “like”, etc.
Yes it’ll steer people that like mass-conformity and blandness towards mass-conformity and blandness. It will steer people that don’t like those things towards other stuff though.
You need a more holistic, complex view of why people listen to music other than viewing some people as categorically different and ignoring the relationship between them and the art they’re shown and more specifically the contexts of it. Borderline techbro understanding of art and humanity.
Says the person doing the most uncharitable interpretation possible without engaging in any conversation about it in order to be an absolute dick? Fuck off? Look in the fucking mirror.
For a little while algorithms actually made it easier to find cool new music but now they’ve all gone back to profit profit profit.
Music needs a tiktok algorithm.

View people as something more than dopamine sponges connected to a hive computer.
