Are you cool with forks making Spotify playlists out of every rolling thread without permission?

Trump next.

wow 181 ppl regularly contributing to rolling threads... ilm is in rude health

As I patrol all of those threads, I can say that number seems just about right as an aggregate!

maybe a LITTLE heavy... say about 150 total. And DJ Martian counts as eight.

are you calling DJ Martian fat

fat with recommendations

Are you cool with forks patrolling every rolling thread without permission?

lol Neanderthal

a simpler, more innocent time

more pertinent question is are you a bad enough dude to take down the president

The idea of someone who would potentially contribute to a thread skipping that because of a playlist is to me absurd and I don't believe it's ever applied to anyone.

tbf, you are absurd

s/o to all the practical rational enthusiasts

the weirdest thing about this thread was not seeing the consideration of some people who actually *did* buy the album many moons ago and/or lost it in a move, damaged it, etc decide to use Spotify to listen to it now.

I p much buy everything digitally now (love Bandcamp) but my physical media took a beating over many years and I never ripped it all, so often times I go to Spotify to listen to those albums, rather than buy em at full price a second time.

i do get the legit concerns for people who don't use Spotify that way tho - my scene is one that requires financial support so wouldn't think of not paying for the albums.

god this bonkers thread

ooh I probably said some dumb bullshit in this thread. I take it all back. Namaste.

Was tempted to leave in iPhone autocorrecting namaste to "mama ate"

Spotify playlists of rolling threads make rolling threads 100x better for me. All the Spotify hate here is baffling.

bonkers and baffling...unless you're an artist I guess

spotify is tremendous garbage for rolling threads like hip-hop where artists are often not on official above ground streaming services

it has also discouraged important voices not to participate

& its pure dilettante service

i hated them then and i hate them now. ban forks

omg are yall gonna do this again for real

Deej operates on a 12 month delay

tidal is cool tho, right?

M.I.A. truffles discussion on deck

Measure a beef

no one's talking about a cultural echelon dipshit my job has literally been to expose more artists from the culture, as many as possible

im talking about the value of reading the threads & participating in them vs. leeching off them like a lazy turd

lol

it's the internet ffs, take your secret recommendations to 77

this is the dumbest thread

what 'secret recommendations' the point is to get ppl to participate in the thread instead of leeching from it

the purpose of discussion here is ... discussion, not providing u with playlists

good to know that I am using ILX (and by extension, the internet) wrong most of the time.

I think it's possible to both have a discussion and link to a playlist with access to some of the music being discussed

I can't imagine why people are put off contributing to rolling threads that are like 60% Deej pedantry and tirelessly pushing the same argument over and over again.

On the other hands Forks dude, I subscribed to all those playlists last year and with the exception of the afrobeats one I didn't bother to listen to any of them at all. Like a huge data dump is the worst possible way of consuming music, whether it's a 400-track playlists or an endless string of Youtube links. And it does sort of grate when the only time you ever post to them is to say "hey, the playlist's updated!" On the other hand no one's able to stop Forks, or anyone else, from making them so who gives a shit really.

FWIW I still think ILM got worse when it coalesced around rolling threads. If you look at New Answers sometimes then 90% of the new music being discussed is in them, unless it's Beyonce or Kanye or whoever. It obviously allows a deeper dive into genres, but it's amazing how rarely people break out of these little sub-communities now. When you get to the end of year poll results you really realise how balkanised ILM has become. The over-excitable thread about an individual song or album is almost a thing of the past, and that's what enabled a song like, say, Desloc Piccalo's 'Drums' to be heard more widely.

weirdly they participated in them for years but then when spotify playlists come around they stopped

its almost as if it has nothing to do w/ me

" On the other hand no one's able to stop Forks, or anyone else, from making them so who gives a shit really."

which is exactly why it's worth complaining abt

i mean what would you do if you couldn't publicly blame me for arguments i end up in

I'm pretty dubious that these things are connected fwiw. Certainly compared to the ILM membership skewing older and older, with all the lifestyle changes that implies. (It's also skewing maler, but that's another discussion).
