Re: How bad is your Spotify?
#42Funny, but I was hoping this might provide some insight into why my Spotify is so bad, even by my own tastes.
Spotify constantly queues and recommends songs to me that are so bad, I can’t even imagine how there could possibly exist any data indicating that any significant sample of listeners has ever enjoyed hearing them. Spotify has 5+ years of my listening history, and orders of magnitude more data from listeners all over the world, and yet every time I set it to recommend anything to me I just sit there pressing “skip” repeatedly until I give up.
I always blamed myself, thought I was just becoming old and curmudgeonly in my 30s. But yesterday I finally discovered the problem isn’t with me. I switched to Apple Music, and it queued up 50 songs I’d never heard, and I enjoyed almost all of them.
I can use my HomePod now, too. I’m really loving Apple Music so far, highly recommend it to anyone who thinks their Spotify account is permanently broken like mine was.

#43Huh, I didn't get the zoomer memes this thing spat at me
It used "stan" as both a noun and a verb and I have no idea what it means.

12 hours ago was what, 5am London, Midnight East Coast?
Timing is everything. If a tree falls in the forest and 75% of the potential readership are fast asleep, does it make a sound?
(Numbers are fictional - and possibly eurocentric - for the purpose of conversation. I think the point stands with or without their veracity, it's just easier for form a sentence with values)

The Act of HN submission. But broadly speaking US working time zone get a much higher chance of submission being upvoted.

#46"I can't judge your music without seeing your Spotify. I mean, I can guess from your browsing history and cookies that your taste is rough, but that's all I'll say for now.
Log in with Spotify"
I never used Spotify, so he was doing this assessment from my cookies...from where? Youtube? I don't login there either, I just browse it. Anyway, that's my test on this.

#47> Your spotify was horny-soundtrack-movie-soundtrack bad.
I suppose because soundtracks and 90s dance remixes are what I listen to while programming.
For soundtracks, I made a playlist that goes for 28hrs 30 mins full of:
* Hans Zimmer
* James Horner
* John Williams
* Alan Silvestri
* David Newman
* Danny Elfman
* Christopher Tin
* John Powell
* Michael Giacchino
* Ramin Djawadi
* etc

#48> Oh wow Taim and Viper! Your taste is so obscure that's so cool I bet you're super interesting.. It's vaguely sentient. It has some really bizarre opinions about certain songs - Guthrie Govan is basically a god amongst men for guitar players but it absolutely hates his work. A final note: I assume this is a joke, but please don't try to objectively rank music.
> Guthrie Govan is basically a god amongst men for guitar players but it absolutely hates his work. They apparently just took public reviews, but I geniuinelycan not imagine someone disliking Guthrie Govan. Maybe the score is also inversely proportional to popularity/# of reviews found? It'd fit into the hipster gag

Like/Dislike ratio of 6600/98, they must be extrapolating from some bad data (or possibly extrapolating from the genre not being particularly melon-y).
Excuse me, I need to go and practice...

I always thought my recommendations are that broken because I listen to two very different music directions. For now, I fixed it by finding new Music via YouTube and using artists playlists etc.. Apple Music is probably no option, though, as I'm exclusively on Android.
