> any music, even total drivel, played repetitively to people simply ends up selling.

I think there is a magic here that is under appreciated. The reality is that music often takes a few listens to appreciate, or perhaps the right mood/moment to really connect. indeed it seems to me that we learn to like that which we are exposed to, irrespective of whether someone with "taste" thinks it is drivel.

Seems like a feature not a bug

Drivel, meaning there is other stuff out there that even YOU may find to be better, but you will never hear it because of the platform and ITS priorities.

A feature for the platform and a select few artists, but not a feature for the listener.

Elitism isn’t the issue here. Limited access outside of funnels is
