This idea of recommendation being privileged over curation right now is a really interesting one and it rings true. I hope hipsters come back, just so I have something to be/hate again.
It's interesting to think about how the return to curation will work within our current algorithmic recommendation systems. How will we find the people who curate for us?
i will say, i do think that people still share things amongst themselves--i send articles to my friends that i think they’ll like--but those interactions are often limited to a single link in the chain rather than many, or many intersecting links. but trust that i am creating a whole curatorial nightmare in my messages with anyone who will tolerate it :)

I wrote a similarly themed post recently (https://ponytail.substack.com/p/sevens-all-in-my-cypher). Spotify shouldn't be our only gatekeeper. I want more opinions!
really enjoy this, and very well-said!
