This episode is a reflection on what 4,000 liked songs actually represent, not taste, not curation, but a living timeline of moments, moods, and phases. I talk about how I “like” music generously, how Spotify quietly became a background constant in my life, and how its algorithms seem to mirror (and sometimes manipulate) my emotions with unsettling accuracy. From rebuilding my library after deleting it, to chasing nostalgia, to experimenting with sound for focus, this is less about music and more about memory, identity, and the strange intimacy between a listener and an algorithm.Check out my other work: https://linktr.ee/rylanbanis
