- freedomben 2y ago"the algorithm" has got to be a tough one though. You can't recommend very many bad fits for the user before they will stop using it, and unknown/lesser known songs are a huge gamble. I badly want an algorithm that I can say, "Find me artists that sounds like <example-song> that have less than 1,000 subcribers (or whatever metric)" but I can understand why they don't do that (because there are very, very few people like me out there). It sucks.
- cue_the_strings 2y agoI'm afraid you'd be dissapointed if you got what you wanted, because it'd likely be AI-generated money-laundering-core.
- sahmeepee 2y agoI don't know if they still have it, but the AI playlist builder on Spotify could do stuff like that. If you play a regular playlist on Spotify called Reggae or Rare Reggae or obscure Reggae you can bet your life it has a few Bob Marley tracks on it. The AI thingummy was able to restrict to less popular artists only.
- cm2012 2y agoIt's the same story on every platform. No one is owed attention. Building an audience is a grind.
- ThrowawayTestr 2y ago"the" algorithm is constantly giving me new music from small artists. If all you hear is top 40 hits, that's on you.
- nsonha 2y agoAs opposed to what? Pay the record companies, or, most likely, never even to be discovered by them?
- rightbyte 2y agoThe recommendation algorithm works fine for me. There should be some reset button though or some other levers though. If you let someone else choose songs or choose song others like too for a party it gets messed up.
