I was addressing this part of what you said:

Even if you have a vast collection of music you don't know (by whatever means your get it), you still need the algorithms to pick the music that you're likely to like.

EDIT: also, fwiw, I didn't downvote you lol.

Ah ok that part wasn't clear to me, sorry (maybe quote it if you're reffering to a small part of a comment?). Yes, it would work for that, but I don't have that collection. I could sail the high seas, but that kinda defeats the purpose of wanting artists to get paid and rather hypocritical. At least they do get paid (even if poorly) using Spotify. So somehow getting to the point where that would work for discovering new-to-me music and that also doesn't screw over artists seems hard, unless I'm missing something?

EDIT: also, fwiw, I didn’t downvote you lol.

No worries, I don't pay attention to votes anyway. Doesn't matter on Lemmy (esp. on comments) unless you're talking about visibility, which doesn't do anything on a comment chain like this one either...
