Altice, parent company of Internet provider Optimum, must disclose the personal details of a hundred alleged music pirates. The request comes from a group of prominent record labels and is part of an ongoing copyright infringement liability lawsuit. Altice, meanwhile, will receive anti-piracy information, including that related to a letter the RIAA previously sent to BitTorrent Inc., the owner of popular torrent client uTorrent.

I do agree to some degree but the problem here is that you are relying too much on just "the algorithm" to serve you up new and interesting stuff. Whilst some times maybe it comes in clutch for the most part, like you say, it is trash.

You need to go out and put in a little bit of work listening to things in other places, following rabbit holes based common denominators or listening to DJ mixes / radio shows, hearing a song you like then going on a mission to find out what it was.

You say it is tedious but you have so many options these days to explore if you just put in a little effort. It used to be tedious as fuck buying a CD for £15 based on a cover or one song you heard on the radio only to find the majority of the music you hate and it was a waste of money!
