Ooohhh... Ya know, I both agree and don't agree. I'd rather leave it at that, yeah?

@ryanc
For the time, it wasn't too bad. What's amazing is that it hasn't yet been replaced...

@lanodan @drewdevault
I would say that your scenario (4) should be deemed like (2), just with added passive aggressivity (which makes matters worse in my book)...

@mrundkvist
There's a difference though. Even without feeding it, there is still an algorithm making choices for you. In a record store (good enough to have a bit more than just the blandly popular records), you were the algorithm.

If you want to make a tangible parallel, a radio station running the "top of the list" hits is much closer to Spotify with an unfed algo.
