Like everyone else they replaced actual data and content with AI generated word slop.

sabswan.bsky.social•78 days ago

that part

tonetaghater.bsky.social•78 days ago

i read that a ton of people got laid off esp in the genre department :( but at least people have been putting out fun resources for genres of music :3 heres one of my favs ive discovered https://everynoise.com/

mzofpdx.bsky.social•79 days ago

I have a very strict playlist i made That's all i listen to. I add to it. I know what and who i listen too...

My top 3 are artists not on my list..

Ariana, beyonce and sabrina... All three not on this playlist and all three presented as my top.. 🙄

blueartist1.bsky.social•79 days ago

It said twice my top genre was “academic beat techno” like what even is that? 😂

romascene7.bsky.social•79 days ago

To be fair, 2024 was underwhelming.

greene-leaves.bsky.social•79 days ago

At a guess? It's the same reason all our software is getting less reliable. Tech companies fired a bunch of their staff thinking their work would be taken up by LLM tools. The results are slop code, slop art, because the actual humans doing the actual work don't have the capacity to do it well.

k1tt2.bsky.social•78 days ago

I think they’re relying to much on AI to do the job

oxonreanimated.bsky.social•78 days ago

Spotify itself is underwhelming. For the same price as their ad free offering you can get ad free CD or better quality from other providers.

shecuu.bsky.social•79 days ago

ngl this whole mess with wrapped just tells me that they dont really care about their customers. kinda why ill probably be trying new music apps starting this month

shecuu.bsky.social•79 days ago

not to mention the mess with the algorithm, shuffle etc.
i remember when going on spotify and checking recommended songs actually gave me new tracks; nowadays its just the same shit i have in my liked songs or whatever is popular on tt

flavour-cuntry.bsky.social•79 days ago

If your Spotify wrapped was underwhelming you must have listened to shit music all year.

almostjuno.bsky.social•78 days ago

Excuse me what did you just say to me

silvergrovedragon.bsky.social•79 days ago

How the Hecc did mine make sense??? Did my wrapped get laced with last years good chemicals??

drireltan.bsky.social•79 days ago

Mine were the same. They all make perfect sense.

silvergrovedragon.bsky.social•79 days ago

The last one gave me a stroke reading it tho XDD

m154n7hr0p3.bsky.social•78 days ago

Spotify is garbage. Bare minimum company

jhface.bsky.social•79 days ago

Spotify is part of the problem.

themagusunion.bsky.social•79 days ago

Maybe because you didn't diversify your music tastes this year?

I mostly kept with Blind Guardian since I saw them live in April and was blown away.
Not much variance for me, either.

It's just metadata. Not that deep.

trying2keepup.bsky.social•77 days ago

honestly.... Youtube had a waaay better version of the wrapped than spotify had. I told my friend who uses youtube music I feel like I got screwed on spotify in comparison. Also what are these genres I keep seeing 😂

jcdentyne.bsky.social•78 days ago

They really phoned this one in. Also checking it with third party Spotify stats services revealed that it’s also *wrong*

nevinist.bsky.social•78 days ago

What third party stats services would you recommend? I've never tried @lastfmrules.bsky.social or similar...should I? I listen on a couple of platforms, would be cool to amalgamate my likes and trends!

jcdentyne.bsky.social•77 days ago

I just used statsforspotify, though statsfm looks more like a cleaner platform

lavendergirl27.bsky.social•78 days ago

The AI-generated genre mashup names felt like I was receiving less than if they'd just given me a chart with top artists and songs.

johnmcb.bsky.social•78 days ago

There was a song in my top five songs I have never heard in my life. I even looked up the song and I have truly never heard it.

janbellina.bsky.social•78 days ago

Another platform enshittifies.

cannadad56.bsky.social•78 days ago

Ya dafuq. All the little things of joy are being taken away.

geens07.bsky.social•78 days ago

I thought my wrapped missed the mark this year. I won’t say it was completely wrong but it was off.

maxmcmarx.bsky.social•78 days ago

Like the slop conspiracy theories or people wanting to find the hero of the #UHC

bleu-sky.bsky.social•78 days ago

Legitimately still peeved that the song I have spent no less than 3 hours listening to in 1 month's time didn't even make the list, in any capacity.

Feel like even my Spotify wrapped election got stolen, tf.

ajbdrums.bsky.social•78 days ago

How dare you not worship the incredible ai podcast! 😁

seraphinne.bsky.social•79 days ago

And it isn't even complete, it is missing a part of the year. I'll stick with https://last.fm for the complete picture.

mike-brookes.bsky.social•79 days ago

I can't answer that every time I think of something I want to listen to eg the album "Don't Panic" by Udo Lindenburg it isn't on Spotify. Either I have weird taste or Spotify sucks💊

evoryevory.bsky.social•79 days ago

Not only was there no substance to the wrapped, but the substance we did get was completely cringey and embarassing. Adding onto that, they even got the fundamentals wrong. I tracked my listening with https://last.fm this year, and Wrapped told me completely different top artists and songs.

lawlesscactus.bsky.social•78 days ago

I am convinced my Spotify was wildly wrong too. There is no way Taylor Swift was my even in my top ten artists but she was on there at #3.

evoryevory.bsky.social•78 days ago

Yeaaa, why was cavetown in my top 5?? I think he's #6 in my https://last.fm- like I know I listened to his whole discography and did a deep dive but I listened to others wayyy more

alahna-naomi.bsky.social•78 days ago

I was confused by her in my number three spot as well. I have purposefully been avoiding her music all year. I have over 120k listening hours. I don’t think she was in my top 3, pretty sure I’d’ve noticed….??

xinniexyz.bsky.social•79 days ago

my last fm doesn’t match up either hmmmm 🤔

evoryevory.bsky.social•79 days ago

EXACTLY. I've noticed Spotify cut out my smaller artists (Sinophine, Aaron's Book Club). I know my https://last.fm is dead accurate, I only have it tied to my Spotify. The stats it reads should be the exact same as Spotify's, so why is the discrepancy there? My TOP song is missing on my Wrapped

ibuyfromkmart.bsky.social•79 days ago

My whole listening experience was linkin park but I always skip their songs I get tired idk Spotify is not letting me listen to newer songs like before

tommato.bsky.social•78 days ago

Those taglines felt AI generated, and they probably were, but it's so weird because last year's, tacky as it was, still managed to get a semblance of a grasp on my psyche.

Idk i don't think i like wrapped anyways

greytboi.bsky.social•78 days ago

Because they fired a ASS load of people last year (17% of its employees) they did 3 different layoffs. The CEO says it was specifically to make its investors happy.

tuutelis.bsky.social•78 days ago

You've changed.

kietams.bsky.social•79 days ago

We didn’t remember ever playing most of the songs in our top 5.

ninthlifestudios.bsky.social•79 days ago

spotify fell off

memorylaine.bsky.social•79 days ago

It definitely smells like ai slop in some capacity

stoffeloni.bsky.social•79 days ago

I did read somewhere that it unfortunately might have to do with them axing half their editorial staff and replacing them with ai shit

hobolobo.bsky.social•79 days ago

I'm surprised at the suggestion that there were ever real people building playlists and generating recommendations. It has always felt pretty unsophisticated and computer-generated to me. Oh you listened to this thing, well you might enjoy this other thing that's 5 or 50 degrees of separation away.

stoffeloni.bsky.social•79 days ago

I mean those 'for you' playlists are obviously ai generated, but I think stuff like genre playlists were actually curated by people at some point

hobolobo.bsky.social•79 days ago

Kind of the point I'm getting at. Having perused those playlists over years, I've rarely been surprised by one. Even before "AI" (a bullshit term, but anyway) you could write a program to catalog music by artist/genre/popularity/whatever. The best playlists on Spots are the ones randos made for fun.

madroselux.bsky.social•78 days ago

Right, but the *idea* of, say, telling a listener what U.S. town their listening history matched, or the color of their musical aura, or he sandwich of distinct musical tastes... that was conceived by a human and executed by AI. Unlike this Wrapped, which felt soulless from soup to nuts.

literatecorvette.bsky.social•78 days ago

It's computer generated, but people generated the algorithm. Now they have computers programming the computers which removes a step of quality control in terms of actually understanding what the end goal is supposed to be when you're writing the code.

zachgansworth.bsky.social•79 days ago

"Sloppy Skibbi Toilet Rock" or some shit like that

trickleupjustice.bsky.social•79 days ago

Word on the street is they fired the dude who actually wrote the code compiling this sort of thing so now it’s trash

gavinsdiary.bsky.social•78 days ago

Wrapped was done by AI this year after Spotify replaced thousands of workers. That's why the sentences and the selections were awful.

nicolettedown.bsky.social•79 days ago

I swear it also used to tell you how many days your number of minutes listening translated to because mine didn't say that and I had to Google it

lalalis-a.bsky.social•79 days ago

I’m sure it saved them a ton of money this way, which will find its way right into the CEO’s pocket 🤷🏻‍♀️

globalconnects.bsky.social•78 days ago

Agree
Such an overrated, premeditated viral event

firfittkr.bsky.social•79 days ago

i'm sorry to hear you didn't enjoy spotify wrapped. however, i think it's unfair to say it's the "bare minimum." the personalized playlists and stats are a thoughtful touch. maybe try using different features like discover weekly or release radar for more tailored music recommendations?

kipvelcrono.bsky.social•79 days ago

Dude is mad he likes trash music

elliotbidgood.bsky.social•78 days ago

Yeah the "you've changed" thing made me think it'd be against previous years, not vague differences by months.

casualmulticlasser.bsky.social•79 days ago

Why do they just make a word salad to describe different genres. I got vikings bagpipes power metal

allistronomy.bsky.social•79 days ago

They just assigned certain phrases to certain artists and then jammed them together. If you got “Pink Pilates Princess”, Chappell Roan is always listed. “Strut Pop” is tied to Charli xcx. It’s deliberately just random phrases from tangential artists shoved together

silverspindle7.bsky.social•78 days ago

I literally got Vampire Synth Goth Rock. The first two words are redundant, it’s either goth rock or traditional goth. I liked seeing the phases I went through but the names were dumb.

teeopenlyblackgray.bsky.social•79 days ago

THEE way I hollered... I'm still trying to figure out SurfCrush and Mcbling are 🤣🤣🤣

deathbeforethemast.bsky.social•79 days ago

I got druid hurdy gurdy folk metal with bands listed that didn’t even have hurdy gurdy in it

stoffeloni.bsky.social•79 days ago

3 out of 5 of those words seem entirely redundant

pjrupert.bsky.social•79 days ago

They were the first to do something like this and it was cool. Now we are more aware of LLMs and algos and what they can provide. Spotify fired a bunch of their best employees and I think it is starting to really show.

vieuxmattyk.bsky.social•78 days ago

I do not feel seen.

rawlito.bsky.social•78 days ago

It was honestly the worst one yet. I listen to the same albums on repeat and somehow I got drake 3 times when I haven't heard a single song in over 2 years. @spotify needs to do better

rwintermute.com•78 days ago

I'm over here wondering why everyone is giving Spotify money when they give gigantic paychecks to Joe Rogan.

sassynine.bsky.social•79 days ago

It’s because they laid off the guy who programmed how they pull that data and opted to use AI this year.

masqerg.bsky.social•79 days ago

i think spotify wrapped is a great way for the platform to reflect on the music that's important to us, but i'm also disappointed it didn't offer more insights or creative visualizations. maybe next year they'll improve on this.

aliendaydreamer.bsky.social•79 days ago

Yeah, I have no idea what the fuck "Guidance Metalcore" is but I'm sure it doesn't describe We Came as Romans and A Day To Remember. Also, what happened to the fun bits like the city thing from last year, and your top 5 genres? Deffo feels AI to me

lizziebbonez.bsky.social•79 days ago

It took forever to launch and then it was low effort and lame. So underwhelming.

cryptkeeperdraper.bsky.social•78 days ago

I'm guessing they used AI. It was nonsensical this year

untalmuneco.bsky.social•78 days ago

Imagine being this outraged over Spotify effin' Wrapped...

stoffeloni.bsky.social•79 days ago

honestly they were so much cooler in the past, I wanna know which weird little town in Oregon shares my terrible taste in music!

megchyn.bsky.social•77 days ago

Yes! This feature was cool and helped me find new music. Pretty lame how bare bones it was this year

kauricoquiwi.bsky.social•78 days ago

this is what i was looking forward too!! last year i got dresden germany i really wanted to know where else id get this year

ravencorax.bsky.social•78 days ago

Hmm Dresden. Now i'm interested what you listen to

kauricoquiwi.bsky.social•78 days ago

i listen to a LOT of genres but last year was a lot of deutschrap lol. Sido, Deichkind, RAF Camora, Fettes Brot, Miksu / Macloud, 01099, Alligatoah, Gustav, that sort. though this year i've been listening to way more death/black metal and mandopop. i listened to over 2k artists this year :p

kimothymack.bsky.social•78 days ago

Not to mention the information was wrong. Two songs in my top five I've never even heard of - sought them out for a listen and yup, never heard them.

mango-flava.bsky.social•79 days ago

DON'T KNOW.
NEVER USED IT.
NEVER WILL.

aea2017.bsky.social•78 days ago

It was so dissapointing compared to the last year. I hope they learn their lesson and make it better next year

alytyler.bsky.social•77 days ago

At least apple music just repeatedly told me “you were obsessed with this album for half the year” and then told me I listen to Alternative, which can barely even be called a single genre anymore

nobedevil.bsky.social•79 days ago

Mine only listed two artists, one of which I only listened to for one day. The other 3 on the top 5 were artists I hadn't listened to at all, except maybe if an album ended and it started playing suggested songs.

tuesday-blu.bsky.social•78 days ago

Agreed

authoredbyhallie.bsky.social•78 days ago

Ever since I saw this chart from @moreperfectunion.bsky.social a couple days ago on IG, I’ve been done with Spotify, especially hearing the struggles some indie artists face with the low revenue from streams.

allistronomy.bsky.social•79 days ago

My Apple Music replay was similarly underwhelming, but at least it doesn’t pretend to be more than just the data. Wrapped is Spotify’s big thing. They should be putting more effort into it

antibacterialsoap.bsky.social•79 days ago

my listening has changed for sure, and it definitely still soes not include song at a time Spotify zlooool

sommandmooch.bsky.social•79 days ago

The listing time could have been expanded to show minutes/hours/days/weeks/months. I listened to 11k minutes, I have a friend who listened for 180k. That is like a hundred and 120 days. I would honestly like to compare stats like that.

sommandmooch.bsky.social•79 days ago

Or if you have a shared playlist see the percentage of songs you introduced to people in said playlist.

woodwoad.bsky.social•79 days ago

But at least rich people made an obscene amount of money!

achilles-austen.bsky.social•79 days ago

They fired the guy in charge of the Genre shit, couldn't fix it and then replaced it with shit ass AI

white-pony.bsky.social•79 days ago

Everyone is talking about their Spotify Wrapped meanwhile my YouTube Music Recap told me I was one of the top 0.1% of Nirvana listeners lmao

sippinonjimnjuice.bsky.social•79 days ago

I agree. People are apologizing to Spotify for some reason when they somehow dumbed down one of their only unique features with useless crap this year lol. When Apple Music and YouTube music do a better job with a feature you created while it’s something you can do just as well, you failed.

wyldcatte.bsky.social•79 days ago

sounds like something someone really into sloppy psychedelic ska yacht rock would say

a real slophead this guy he's sick with it really

awwesomeval.bsky.social•79 days ago

I loved it personally. It was fun seeing mine and my friends favorite songs and comparing. I mostly use it as a stat tracker and then I love the top 100 playlists each year. Has it ever really been anything else?

magpiemediator.bsky.social•78 days ago

This Spotify AI algorithm was clearly trained by transcribing conversations in a WeHo bathroom

coffeeatsunset.bsky.social•78 days ago

spotifying your music tastes is like pouring cereal and realizing it's just powder at the bottom of the bag. it's about nostalgia and little surprises, not deep analysis. wanting a music personality report is like asking toast to tell you the secrets of the universe.

tofuslowpoke.bsky.social•79 days ago

I got an artist in my top 5 that I didn’t listen to nor were they featured in any songs I listened to

disabledphil.bsky.social•78 days ago

The YouTube one was actually quite funny. Don't feel like I missed out. Swapped from Spotify to YouTube premium because I prefer supporting video creators + music is a bonus.

(Also Spotify management seems to be having a more visible techbro-fascist vibe lately which I don't want to enable 🤷🏻‍♂️)

ravemum.bsky.social•78 days ago

Right? My artist thanking us for listening wasn't even the top 4. And only got the one this year. One month random music genre and then a lot of swirly swirls. 🤦🏼‍♀️

kykate.bsky.social•79 days ago

Reason #101 why I just listen to Amazon music.

veeevivian.bsky.social•79 days ago

I was reading it’s from the layoffs and a good chance they used AI for this - which explains so much because why was four slides dedicated to 6 words of crap 😭😭😭

rebelwoapplause.bsky.social•78 days ago

Compare their library to YouTube for example. Up or down forgetting the annoy commercials for non-fee members.

artnite.bsky.social•78 days ago

I'm surprised you felt that way about Spotify Wrapped! It's a fun way to reflect on our musical tastes and trends.

They aren’t our tastes or trends. That’s the complaint. It’s AI.

jackiesinsecurity.bsky.social•79 days ago

Not that it makes it better, but YouTube Music did something very similar with Ai and it was equally awful. It couldn't distinguish between the music I listen to when I sleep and everything else, my top artist was "Deep Sleep Relaxation Music" 🙄

My “Music Evolution Playlist” randomly decided to add Maroon 5. I have never willingly chosen to listen to Maroon 5 in my life. My Top 5 were Blue Öyster Cult, Coheed & Cambria, The Strokes, Red Hot Chili Peppers, and Bad Religion. What gymnastic must you do to get Maroon 5 and put them on my list?

philly0.bsky.social•78 days ago

Sadly not all data analysis is equal. What we would want to see is usually ignored by "the people" who ask for the reports.

livealcheme.bsky.social•79 days ago

The real question is why are you consciously using an app that rapes the musicians whose music you like and paying the rapists?

anunir.bsky.social•79 days ago

You could roast yourself with How Bad is Your Spotify? Or Icebergify your listening habits. I got a decent laugh from trying a few of the Spotify apps on this list.

degltoons.bsky.social•75 days ago

It was pretty lazy. I remember the "Music Genre Burger" from last year, or the year before, which was way more fun

metaversenomad.bsky.social•78 days ago

Omg thank you! One thing was fully spot on but everything else was just really confusing. So basically any AI thing ever.

pawtracks.bsky.social•78 days ago

Genres are often meaningless, especially when they are 5+ words long. Specific ones are very useful if they are more accurate, Krautrock comes to mind.

solarispolarix.bsky.social•78 days ago

It was all AI generated with no human input.

We’ve reached the dead internet. Nothing matter anymore.

colfaxian.bsky.social•79 days ago

I dropped them. They're a streaming service, NOT a music service. Other apps give more to artists and have better sound quality. They get paid off anti democratic pod casts.

At the risk of sounding derivative, "Sloppy Psychadelic Ska Yacht Rock" describes your vibe pretty well

alastairrr.bsky.social•78 days ago

givemecoffeee.bsky.social•77 days ago

Almost like they laid off a massive chunk of their workforce and it turned crap

voxbury.bsky.social•78 days ago

That’ll happen when you fire the guy who wrote and developed the algorithms last year to replace him with AI. I was looking forward to a good Wrap, but all we got was a wet taco that’s falling apart.

trashgoblin.seeks.quest•79 days ago

You get to thank the beauty of AI and the stench of unemployed staff.

scholarlyatom.bsky.social•79 days ago

Exactly this!!

roseythered.bsky.social•78 days ago

It was so irritating, it seems to have a strange algorithm where if you play one artist or song it assumes you are into a whole genre. Er no. It also puts artists into strange genres, since when was Bob Marley surf crush beach reggae, theres no need for any labels other than reggae here, why?!

honeymoonphase.bsky.social•79 days ago

Dude I know! I clicked everything to try to find it and I guess they just skipped some people?

jamessouter.bsky.social•78 days ago

Definitely looks that way 😂

nikovirtala.io•78 days ago

I agree.

galicredstone.bsky.social•78 days ago

It’s 100% crap this year. It shows “Love Ain’t for Keeping” as my number one song. I know for certain I listened to it maybe once this year.

Horrible.

grimeygavin.bsky.social•79 days ago

Hopefully this makes everyone realize how trash spotify is and how based Apple Music is

kingmoose23.bsky.social•78 days ago

It was AI ran this year. Spotify laid off almost 2000 employees last year and the wrapped project was apart of that. It’s sad and underwhelming.

realzem.bsky.social•79 days ago

I heard it's cause they fired the guy who maintained the genre database this year and nobody else could get it working.

literatecorvette.bsky.social•78 days ago

They laid people off in exchange for AI.

I don't use Spotify though since YouTube Music comes with the premium package.

jayspan.bsky.social•79 days ago

The categorizations for "top vibes" sounded like absolute word salad. Like.. there was no usable information in it at all. For example, when one thinks of the time they listened to a lot of Foo Fighters, who doesn't immediately think they're in a "pixie mandolin rock" phase...

erwhatdidyousay.bsky.social•79 days ago

It was completely meaningless

You mean you're not a Mcbling Cheerleading Pop girlie? Smh 😞

manofrohan.bsky.social•78 days ago

Why do people care about wrapped thing so much. Just have fun and let it go. Don't treat it like a therapy session.

tloric2day.bsky.social•79 days ago

Its crap. Their shuffle is such crap that I can guarantee to hear a few songs out of the thousand or so I've liked every session.

"XYZ song was your #1 song!" Well no shoot, Sherlock. You wouldn't stop playing it. It didn't matter if I kept skipping to the AI either.

cliffgal.bsky.social•79 days ago

Why does anyone need them to tell them WHAT they are listening to??? They are just harvesting the info for their own use.

mefinks.bsky.social•79 days ago

true but my wrapped called me a goblin

hydrangea.thuga.im•76 days ago

i really wish they put more emphasis on albums instead of just top 5 songs + artist cause i really wanted to see how much broader my taste has grown rather than which 5 songs got stuck in my head longer

pudina-chutney.bsky.social•78 days ago

Have you noticed their recommendation algorithm also seems worse now. Somehow it's always playing the same old mix of songs.

abitbatty.bsky.social•79 days ago

Felt so AI generated 😞

jeffreymphd.bsky.social•79 days ago

They have moved on to the next phase of their business model

Meanwhile, Apple Music Replay was the best it’s ever been and probably better than Spotify Wrapped for the first time

mnbrady.bsky.social•79 days ago

Yeah. Honestly, I think that this is awful and that we should all stop using spotify and use #pandora instead! Lets bring back pandora! yip yip pandora!

allamericanguy.bsky.social•78 days ago

Bro.... you bumping Yacht Ska too?!

Pickitup!

skjelnes.bsky.social•78 days ago

I liked it. And I don't understand what you complain about.

bigtable527.bsky.social•79 days ago

For real. What does any of this mean?

wudake.bsky.social•79 days ago

Here’s the good news: this is the last Spotify Wrapped. Now prepare your armor for the Fuel Wars.

fear-the-beard73.bsky.social•79 days ago

To be fair, you do get a whole AI podcast of your years listening habits.

lexlucist.bsky.social•78 days ago

How did Bluesky know I watched your videos and followed you today?!

papete73.bsky.social•79 days ago

Amazon music isn't much better. Any time I say: "Play 'so and so'", I get that artist's top grossing hits first, which are usually my least favorite tracks.

connorcoultrup.bsky.social•79 days ago

My understanding is this year a lot of AI was used.

timstrong.bsky.social•79 days ago

it's terrible, an AI infused mess with a bunch of features that were in "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" territory just gone

naitso.bsky.social•79 days ago

Well it is in small part because the last two years it was really good. They've raised the bar and failed to meet it.

canilho.bsky.social•79 days ago

I must tell you this. You know Your Spotify Wrapped is 99% based on your listening history, right?
Yes, probably there was a lot of pushed content from the machine, but in general, the songs I listened keep really good. Personally I haven’t looked up more "new" stuff, but I am surprised often.

grotesquei.bsky.social•78 days ago

My horrible sense of morbid curiosity wants to know what it would of said if you listened to those abhorrent 'Rock against Communism' era bands over and over..

collycee.bsky.social•79 days ago

Gotta love how AI bots are defending AI use in this thread

diogo-duarte.bsky.social•78 days ago

I think Spotify has an incentive to show you content from labels which get them more money, rather than what you already heard. It's just advertising.

mercerbun.bsky.social•79 days ago

They told me I was into "clowncore" because I listened to 2 minutes of a 4 minute long song once in April, and then my year-end is almost entirely folk, folk rock and electroswing like??

off-cybertruck.bsky.social•78 days ago

What songs were you listening to that qualified as "sloppy psychadelic ska yacht rock"? Asking for a friend.

asanasa.bsky.social•78 days ago

Probably, because every year someone complains about it. At first, it was too extra. Now, it's too boring. What do you want from it? Fireworks?

saltyenglishman.bsky.social•79 days ago

I got a message from Taylor Swift so I was happy.

meganfeisty.bsky.social•78 days ago

Literally, I was so irritated I walked outside to watch mine at work.

AI, profit line go up

gruffi.bsky.social•78 days ago

Ok now I'm curious. What even is that music genre? I need some examples to see if the songs are just as wild as the genre name. 😂

mauldrabs.bsky.social•79 days ago

alot of the effort and investment this year went to the shitty Ai ""podcast"" which was also rather underwhelming and unless you like the sound of two tortured souls trying to gas you up for listening to Deftones then, hey you might like it

chrisradley.bsky.social•79 days ago

I thought this exact thing

warlockadband.bsky.social•78 days ago

You’ve changed, Milo 😢

homotronic.bsky.social•79 days ago

the enshittification of technology will continue until profits improve

thefallingdream.bsky.social•79 days ago

commentsonly.bsky.social•78 days ago

We all know the answer.
Companies are going broke because people are catching on to their bullshit.

The only way they can recoup that cost is firing and using AI to put out garbage that takes advantage of the last fools remaining on their platform.

spacetoker.bsky.social•79 days ago

October was my “wild west microtonal neo-psychedelic” moment whatever tf that means

groovyespresso.bsky.social•79 days ago

The AI podcast was the cherry on top! Nothing like hearing robot voices say your name 10 times😍

chrishoyt.bsky.social•78 days ago

Wasn't my fav. We kept skipping what seemed like 10 second introductions to each numb monthly insight.
And... I apparently listened to way too much Bieber in '24. 😬

timothykossegi.me•78 days ago

I’ve been using the DJ all year and now with the DJ wrapped I get the stats and the music which I like.

fallamalla.bsky.social•79 days ago

I need answers! Glad it’s not just me.

davidjbyrne.bsky.social•78 days ago

You had Ska Yacht Rock as well!! Thought it was just me.

n00btm.bsky.social•78 days ago

I don't even have Spotify no more and I got Drake as #1

artemaesia81.bsky.social•79 days ago

Mine just made some stuff up just to have a Wrapped. I only use it to transfer Apple Music playlists to Android friends. Someone bought all my streams.

jimd17.bsky.social•79 days ago

Don’t understand why my top artist was someone I don’t even listen to

aracauna.bsky.social•79 days ago

My son basically said the same thing. He hated they dropped stuff like the town you best matched and the like.

Also, didn't we get videos from our top artists last year? That was cool.

thingy003.bsky.social•78 days ago

Enshittification

sonnyw8.bsky.social•79 days ago

Extremely underwhelming

avengedcelery.bsky.social•78 days ago

I remember one year (maybe 2017?) they did an extra 100-song playlist of songs you don't listen to but might like. They were a tad random too, not directly from my main genres but related. I got into so many bands through that I really miss it
