I have a folder of MP3s, some of which date back to 1999, just a few years after the format was popularised. Most of them have utterly terrible names (think RIDEONAM.MP3). I think at this point they might even survive the heat death of the universe. And they’ll still be terribly-organised.
It’s not the quantity, it’s the quality. Sure I can search for similar artists with other means, but the Spotify algo is just on point. Probably so after many years of feeding it my listening habits.
I’ll eventually drop it for a self hosted service with machine learning that I can train.
Algorithms has no concept of artistic. It’s not about the quantity over quality for me either i believe that there is ten thousands or even hundred thousands of talented artists in the world
