From what I see, the 'true analytics' available are exactly the same as what I'm getting already. The data's available from my current service to download raw if I want to export it to another analytics platform anyway.

If you haven't seen Century of the Self[1] I recommend it. It is a documentary about the history, and rise of PR. We are now, perhaps, at the end of the century of the self - as the trustworthiness (and hence value) of broadcast inform

People probably don't mention it because it's so good it's invisible. In my experiance people in the 'real world' only mention (read: bitch about) services they struggle with.

Unfortunately the UK does not have half a mind to spare, and won't for a few years at least. One of the less noticable side-effects of Brexit is that it totally dominates the entire political landscape, to the exclusion of other issues

This suffers from the limitation of many generative music algorithms/tools in that you're locked into a key (in this case C major - no black notes are played at all), which makes it a cool toy and research project, but of no real
