Ask HN: So what's going on with Drake content at Spotify?

4 pointsby jmheinklealmost 7 years ago
Drake has dominated much of the algorithmically generated content on Spotify, to an extreme degree, leading to widespread complaints on social media.<p>I suspect this is a combination of: 1. Poor executions of algorithms, where the output is running unchecked 2. Legal and licensing agreements with the artist which prevent Spotify manually tipping the algorithms<p>Interesting implications: - Spotify&#x27;s stock price: it&#x27;s these algorithms and content that purportedly make Spotify so good<p>- As someone working in the space of ML, I grudge this misuse of algos. There&#x27;s a real chance an incident like this will precipitate another &quot;AI winter&quot;<p>Thoughts?
