Why media fans want to escape algorithms with CDs, DVDs and vinyl

    You can escape algorithms by choosing what you consume, regardless of what platform you're using. I had digitized my CD collection 15 years ago. but I never listened to those. I purchase misic directly from artists (Bandcamp), I don't buy physical media. And if their stuff is also on Apple Music, that's where I listen.

      100% this. The algo trap is from laziness, not from streaming.

      I've got a lot of very good stuff that isn't on Apple Music, Spotify or Bandcamp.

      YMMV
