Many people may believe that they control what they listen to. Although I agree that this may be true in a sense, however our music is controlled by large media companies. Damon Krukowski talks about how streaming services are constancy taking information from all of our app service, such as what we listen to and Wheatrtist we react too. to generate the tracks that are similar to what we are already listening. Social sights have now used the algorithm as a way to flex their powers. We no longer see our friends and family we’re only see celebrities and business ads. The companies know that we use music and media to escape. They have tamed that need for an escape as a way to control us. Hence having the power to control what we see and hear. Growing up in NYC I have had the pleasure knowing alot of amazing artist from singers to rappers. Some have made it main stream while others get zoned out or lost in the crazy web we know as “Algorithm’.’ They get alot of the local respect and plays but that power the mainstream has over the industry makes it hard for the locals to make it to the big scales at times. Letting us know that we dont truly have the power we think we have over the content that is out there.
