“The new station will play a curated selection of songs based on what you’ve been listening to but haven’t heard before.”
Looks interesting. To me, Apple’s curated playlists have always been superior in quality to Spotify’s but they really don’t have as vas of a selection of curated playlists. Apple Music stations are often excellent, too, if you know how to crate them.
Did people forget about Pandora? That’s basically what Pandora was, at least back in my day. back creaks
yea, for those not paying attention … the “enshitification” has been a slow development for a while now. There was a moment back circa 2010, before google stopped being “not evil” and when the iphone/smartphone was still new and web pages were capable of doing anything and problems could be solved with apps etc etc … that tech just seemed “good” and to be doing “good”, and there were reasons to think so. But good things have been falling away slowly for years and big things turning shit too.
Has enshitification already reached “gaslighting” status where people just use it when it’s not appropriate?
Merely inappropriate usage of a word isn’t gaslighting. Ironic really.
There’s a reason I put it in quotation marks, it was an example not a part of the sentence
We don’t get that in the UK so it’s never really been an option for us unfortunately
Pandora wasn’t only focused on stuff you haven’t heard though. It was a mix. It’s actually closer to the Apple Music “personal station”.
