seriously though, again, there are whole threads devoted to the meta discussion of theories about whether, how, and why ILM posting style/discourse has changed over time. it's an interesting topic, i have things i'd add, but i think it'd be nice to use one of those rather than one that was started as an ad hominem against one poster. possible starting points:
Any reason why ILM is so quiet these days?Longtime ILXors - how has this board changed over time?

I kind of like that the youtubes disappear, that a record wafts in on the breeze and after a while off it goes again. There are too many records, most of them are bad, and the few good ones lead to serene feelings not speaking. a doff of the cap is its sentence on the page

so basically, the problem is simultaneously that Spotify playlists will forever draw people away from the thread, but also that YouTube links are impermanent

personally, I
1) get overwhelmed by bombardments of Youtube clips
2) don't use / like Spotify
and
3) prefer the more in-depth discussions found on dedicated album / artist / label threads

Pssh, 284 posts and no mention of forks's playlists. FAKE NEWS.

i just want to say for the record that tho i'm sympathetic to people who want forks to knock it off with the playlists it's ultimately not something that bothers me personally at all
but i do think it's lame and annoying that forks bumps rolling threads to note only that the playlist has been updated. it does begin to feel like somebody programmed a computer to eat the threads.
if forks has a different way to alert playlist subscribers that the playlist is updated then i think it's fine, and my apologies if this has already been addressed in this thread i didn't read

The reason why he tells you about it is probably that he's not a robot but an actual human bring putting in unpaid work for the benefit of the community so it would be nice if said community notices it, you know. A bumped thread hurts no one.

Spotify playlists on ILM: don't ask, don't tell.

plug-in or applet or whatever the fuck that could pull all the music on a page by name seems like something that would catch on big if it was done right. This could be the next hipster puppies ILX success story. Call it "forks" and buy me dinner and I'll give you permission.― ulysses, Thursday, 4 February 2016 21:52I have a friend who's supposedly working on such an app at the moment by the way.― posted with permission by (dog latin), Friday, February 5, 2016 9:01 AM
