I especially hate how the curating institutions are so dominated by English and Amerikan artists.

It wasn't the algorithms, it was the external resources that people were using that led people to find albums that boosted them in algorithms. You're not gunna' algorithm you're way out of mass-conformity and blandness.

    I don't see why a tiktok algo couldn't effectively find what you like and what you don't like just as well as it does for video content based on how much of the video you watch, what you skip, whether you "like", etc.

    Yes it'll steer people that like mass-conformity and blandness towards mass-conformity and blandness. It will steer people that don't like those things towards other stuff though.

    You need a more holistic, complex view of why people listen to music other than viewing some people as categorically different and ignoring the relationship between them and the art they're shown and more specifically the contexts of it. Borderline techbro understanding of art and humanity.
