I was happily using this for a year or so now. Feels fairer than using an ad blocker. But now they apparently want more money out of people. Feels like some sort of internet video apocalypse is happening, where the services become extremely fragmented and expensive, like YouTube, netflix, hbo, Hulu, Disney+ and whatnot. Each wants some 10-20€ out of your pocket.
I guess that means back to ad blockers and piracy…
This is true. Best use is still using something like soulseek for offline files but algorithm actually let’s you discover outside of the same couple dozen bands
When I had Spotify I always heard the same stuff and when I invariably got tired of that same stuff and wanted to expand my tastes, I had a hard time finding stuff I liked.
For all the hate YouTube gets I much prefer it now, not a day goes by where something new (that I actually like enough not to skip) appears in my supermix. What isn’t good about the algorithm is if someone plays something on your account that isn’t what you like, the next week will be constant additions of whatever genre your wife decided to play…
Yeah I am hoping we can get a guest mode or party mode or something that allows to play stuff of all types that maybe you play for somebody else or because is a party and friends can suggest stuff or similar but that doesn’t mean you will like to listen it usually.
