I am a "media fan" and algorithms (going back to last.fm) have make me discover so much music that it's not even funny. The idea of "escaping algorithms" is a net negative for me.

  When I was a teen some 20 odd years ago the “algorithm” is people you spoke to.
  That said smart shuffle on Spotify has found me a lot of good music.
