I don’t see how that quote is the cause for having such a tiny library. 😅 Maybe I’m misunderstanding it. Are you saying you are coming across a lot of music, and it’s not good enough? It seems you are saying that your personality is the cause of the suggestion algorithm not showing you any new music anymore. I can’t imagine I’m interpreting that correctly.
No no, I think it’s a very vague quote/phrase. It probably also has to do with what platforms we use. Spotify is suggestion/playlist/radio centric, while Tidal doesn’t shove unsolicited suggestions down my throat - of course, if receiving further suggestions is your cup of tea, then you don’t have to phrase it negatively like I just did. Also, just to clarify, I’m not unhappy with the pace at which I discover music, since it gives me time to digest the purpose, message, intent and all other “metamusical” information surrounding each and every album. I read up on the artists, their personal lives, musical backgrounds and the stories behind the albums. I wouldn’t be able to do that if I was discovering music at a faster pace, me being really slow at reading and emotional processing. 😅
Oh, I see better now. 😁 I get where you’re coming from. 👍
Yeah, I’m more like “damn, this song slaps (in the moment)”, [follow artist]. Then I have to listen more to realize I don’t want to hear more. I kind of have to prove their guilt by listening more, so to speak. So now that there’s barely any more to discover for me, I need to start making some heads roll. 😆
Oh yeah, I love music. There’s always some melody playing in my head.
I play the guitar, used to play drums, I dabbled shortly in piano. All self-taught except the drums when I was little and took drum classes with a teacher. I recently was gifted my aunt’s clarinet that she says she hasn’t used since she was young, so I’m curious to open that case eventually. 😅
Is… Is that it?
Yep.

How about getting into music yourself? 😁 You play anything? 😊
