@bullivant I just shared this on Heads.social
@dougdugan Thank you. People need to understand how manipulative Spotify's algorithm is.
@bullivant My kids use it because they are lazy. It spits out music to them and they don't have to think about it. Damn kids.
@dougdugan It is good not to exercise a degree of choice and selection and to just passively accept what the algorithm chooses to put in front of you? I suppose that this is what TikTok does.
@bullivant I'm proud that they both deleted Tik Tok, but yeah they were born into the digital world so their online choices will be different than mine. They think I'm paranoid for being cautious; I think they are careless. Sounds like me and my parents, only about different topics.
@dougdugan Very true Doug.
