  • Here is how platforms die: first, they are good to their users; then they abuse their users to make things better for their business customers; finally, they abuse those business customers to claw back all the value for themselves. Then, they die.

    I call this enshittification, and it is a seemingly inevitable consequence arising from the combination of the ease of changing how a platform allocates value, combined with the nature of a "two sided market," where a platform sits between buyers and sellers, holding each hostage to the other, raking off an ever-larger share of the value that passes between them.

  • Yeah, Pole is really different, and so good!

    And what I was getting at with 'instrumental' is that it can just be added onto any genre/mood/activity and that can help you narrow it down and find stuff you want at that moment. So if you want instrumental electronica, you can find playlists for that, e.g. https://open.spotify.com/playlist/37i9dQZF1EIe2aICIo80hb As for moods and activities, examples would be 'Chill Instrumental Beats' https://open.spotify.com/playlist/37i9dQZF1DX0khTY3HFA4M and 'Instrumental Study' https://open.spotify.com/playlist/37i9dQZF1DX9sIqqvKsjG8


  • The term for this would be 'instrumental', which I only mention because it might help you find what you want. If you search streaming platforms for '[some genre] instrumental' it might turn up a playlist.

    Here's some favourite albums of mine, which are 'ambient' so you might find them terribly boring, but they certainly are instrumental:

    • 1 2 3 - Pole
    • And Their Refinement of the Decline - Stars of the Lid
    • Plume - Loscil
    • The Sound of Lights When Dim - Slow Dancing Society
