how to escape the algorithmic prison

if you're like me and listen to tons of music, but feel kinda sad or lost when you launch you music apps and you can't seem to find anything appropriate.

you are in the algorithmic prison.

i think the key is understanding that these apps are simply built to keep you as long as possible in the loop (or algorithmic prison).

once you understand that, try looking elsewhere

here are some ideas:

1. nts (webradio), hours on end of carefully selected music and ad-free, ⤤https://www.nts.live/
2. bandcamp radios: genre-based radio shows, ⤤https://bandcamp.com/radio
3. ambiance jeune: a local dj playlist, updated from time to time, ⤤https://ambiancejeune.com/
4. kexp: live music performances from a seattle-based radio station, ⤤https://www.youtube.com/@kexp/videos
5. tiny desk (npr): live music performances from a very small stage, ⤤https://www.youtube.com/@nprmusic/videos
6. low four studio: live music performances from a uk-based studio, ⤤https://www.youtube.com/@LowFourStudio/videos
7. state51: live music performances from a uk independant label, ⤤https://www.youtube.com/@state51/videos
