Apt MonikerI don't claim to be a music connoisseur in the slightest, but it's objectively hilarious how music recommendation algorithms entirely shit the bed the moment they encounter even slightly non-mainstream genres
Dr Jamiebear@aptmoniker Oh god yes. My musical tastes are... downright weird. I get that this means the algo will fail a lot. But the flailing attempts they make put me off using recommendations at all. Amazon's algo is particularly pathetic because it really, really can't understand that three people are using Echo devices to play music and we're all very different. My recommendations today are Kirsty MacColl, Ron Goodwin and the Grimethorpe Colliery Band.
