Spotify’s Algorithm: Your New Overbearing DJ Friend
Spotify has apparently turned its beloved music app into an unsolicited speed date with an algorithm that 'has gotten too suffocating.' Users might want to breathe and skip the robotic suggestions because the endless cycles of AI-made 'perfect playlists' are more clingy than your last relationship. As the article notes, relying so heavily on machine recommendations can feel like being trapped in a musical echo chamber where freedom to choose is just a myth. In short: your playlist is less "your jam" and more "algorithm's clingy obsession."
