Altice, parent company of Internet provider Optimum, must disclose the personal details of a hundred alleged music pirates. The request comes from a group of prominent record labels and is part of an ongoing copyright infringement liability lawsuit. Altice, meanwhile, will receive anti-piracy information, including that related to a letter the RIAA previously sent to BitTorrent Inc., the owner of popular torrent client uTorrent.
I do agree to some degree but the problem here is that you are relying too much on just “the algorithm” to serve you up new and interesting stuff. Whilst some times maybe it comes in clutch for the most part, like you say, it is trash.
You need to go out and put in a little bit of work listening to things in other places, following rabbit holes based common denominators or listening to DJ mixes / radio shows, hearing a song you like then going on a mission to find out what it was.
You say it is tedious but you have so many options these days to explore if you just put in a little effort. It used to be tedious as fuck buying a CD for £15 based on a cover or one song you heard on the radio only to find the majority of the music you hate and it was a waste of money!
Yeh I guess, if you don’t like listening to music then sure it is tedious.
There are more ways to listen and discover music than ever before. In the past you had mainly radio or word of mouth and even then your exposure was extremely narrow based on the radio stations tastes. You now have so many other avenues for exploration and discovery.
Basically you want to be handed a list of stuff you are already going to like with no effort on your part, that isn’t really tedium, more laziness on your part.
if you don’t like listening to music then sure it is tedious.
Of course, you know me so so well.

See? That was 100% TOTALLY what my comment was about, glad to see your reading comprehension works so well you have no need to assume things to make them fit into your argument.

There’s no need to comment about this, since you already assumed and decided for me and you must be right because YOU MUST BE RIGHT, so I’ll just leave you and your right assumptions to believe whatever you want so… gOoD vIbEs OnLy, amirite?
I’ll just go to listen to music I like BECAUSE I DON’T LIKE LISTENING TO MUSIC.

Basically proving my point about it being tedious but trying to force some hopium into it.
