I hear you — but what do you think Spotify or any of the other streaming services are? In my mind, algorithmic streaming services have much more in common with this "experiment" than your local radio DJ.
- miltonlost 5mo agoApple Music actually has radio stations with real humans picking songs. So not all streaming is algorithm if you look.

You can read an interview done last year with their editorial head.
