The ugly truth is that most people (I dare to say 99%+) don't care much about music. They just need to listen to something while doing their jobs.

- BoingBoomTschak 2y agoWell, it's not a secret, no? I mean, if you use Spotify with big holes in non-mainstream music and only the latest butchering known as "remaster" of your favourite albums, you definitely don't care much about music. Which is why you'll never see me get off the comfy "local only" train, buying CDs and sailing the high seas with my skull & crossbones flag if needed.
- pas 2y agohow people know when a remaster is good or bad?
- BoingBoomTschak 2y agoWith their ears. Though the most egregious examples are simply brickwalled when the original master wasn't, so it's easy to "see".
- catlikesshrimp 2y agoBroadcast Radios (FM and AM) did a much better job. Their music was real and each station was more or less an algorithm. There were ads, but as you mention, people don't seem to care much. The quality check was the non personalized streams cathered to please its audience and competition among stations. So, the solution is to kill targeted algorithms and monopolies, ha.
- ckrailo 2y agoI dislike ads even more than slop. Ads drove me to change stations to music I didn't care for and listen to the same CDs more times than I would have otherwise. Ads made broadcast radio unplayable as interaction-free background music.
