46 min - Ep. 5: Are Algorithms Ruining the Music Industry? Part IIIn this second part, we discuss the morality and intentions behind some of the top players in the streaming space - are Spotify and Apple Music really trying to get us to listen to music we like or do they have more sinister, commercial reasons behind their algorithms?
