Totally true. Reminded me of a great article by @hitpoints.bsky.social (newsletter.hitpoints.co/374-blue-note/) that talked about how we're letting algorithms curate our taste. I've noticed it and pulled away from it, because this passive discovery is not even enjoyable. I want to choose what I like
