once I picked this up, I couldn’t set it down. made me realize how pi.fyi can be one of these new spaces where we can regain control of culture and have true recommendations far away from the algos. you can also listen to it here
anyone on pi.fyi will likely feel seen and heard when reading this. it basically accentuates all the redundancies and senseless aspects of social media and how it’s disrupted every industry and how we are all dominated by the algorithm and have to be our own hype person. i always feel like an idiot after i finish a record or a book that i'm really excited to share with the world, but then have to think about “content“ to promote the art itself. obviously pi.fyi feels likes a refreshing beacon of hope because artists can share their work here in a far more simple and wholesome manner. the article also addresses non-creative jobs like accountants and other professions that are all being forced to become an “influencer” of some sort or build a brand. it’s spooky, yet we’re all feeling the fatigue so hopefully we can see a less algorithmic future soon…
Smooth sexy synth rhythms backed with a 60's rhythm box have me smoking cigarettes and sipping espresso while I tackle the day. Check out Don Melody Club
