The enshittification of music, by Rick Beato
(www.youtube.com)
The phenomenon of online platforms gradually degrading the quality of their services, often by promoting advertisements and sponsored content, in order to increase profits. (Cory Doctorow, 2022, extracted from Wikitionary) source
We discuss how predatory big tech platforms live and die by luring people in and then decaying for profit.
We also discuss how naturally open technologies like the Fediverse can be susceptible to corporate takeovers, rugpulls and subsequent enshittification.
I appreciate the honesty. Maybe tomorrow I'll check out some stuff. But really I think his good stuff recently has been his Nirvana interviews, Soundgarden interviews, and the interview with the STP guitarist who I feel bad about not remembering his name right now. If you can stand listening to Billy Corgan that's worth a listen too. Personally that's a tough one to sit through though.
Older stuff, again just off the top of my tired head, I liked the video he did about voice modulation. He's got a good one about how everything is recorded into perfect time signatures using software.
Edit. He was a producer. So a lot of the topics about the technical side of music is pretty good. He just tends to blow up his own head though, that's all.
Thanks! I'll check out the voice modulation video, then compare it to his recent stuff.
