remember when the video game and film industries realized it would be safer to cannibalize proven IPs and the ratio of sequels/remasters/reboots/remakes/rereleases climbed precipitously in the 21st century? is it just me or are musicians rereleasing the same song across multiple editions of albums just so it has more opportunities to show up on your discovery feed. the algorithm needs to figure out how to punish this fr. i just got recommended a song in my discovery feed that ive already listened to like 50 times in the past week. it didn’t register as the same song because it was on a different edition of the same album (that only differed by a single song, i might add!). music historians are going to have a very hard time organizing the 2020s.
