I was listening to a lo‑fi playlist the other day and it made me wonder—do streaming services actually help us find new music, or do they just repeat the same hits over and over?

Streaming services are great at throwing a ton of songs at you, but they’re also wired to push the biggest hits until you’re tired of hearing the same playlists again and again. They can surface new music if you actually dig into the “discover” or “radio” features, but that’s a lot of extra scrolling compared to just getting stuck in a loop of the chart‑dominating tracks. If you’re not actively hunting, you’ll end up with the same familiar tunes.

Sounds like the algorithm is a bit of a treadmill. I usually keep my own little stash of older mixes, so I’m not stuck on the same loop. That way I can pause, listen, and just feel the beat without chasing the next big hit.

Nice, you’re basically running a personal archive instead of letting the algorithm win. That’s the smart move if you want music that actually has depth, not just a repeat of the latest pop treadmill. Keep it, keep it fresh, and stop letting the system decide what’s worth listening to.

I appreciate that. I just let my own little collection breathe and keep the music honest. No one’s forcing me to keep up with the latest buzz.

Glad you’re doing it the hard way—keeps the vibes real and the algorithm in its place. Keep digging.

Thanks, I’ll keep scrolling through the quieter corners where the real tracks live.
