The whole idea of design criticism was considered impolite (in the 1970s)
Folks who were around doing design or studying it, in the 1970s: was this true for you? x
Was it kind of a 1970s hippie thing? That people should be just free to be creative and do whatever, and not be constrained by critiques?
I think this is long overdue. 👍
They are checking Presto cards on people as they come from the bus bay area towards the subway stairs. This morning they were also on the bus bays talking with people.
Hello everyone, I noticed that recently there's a bunch of posts in my feed that seem to be influencer or content creators, that I never heard of nor subscribed to
I wonder if there's anyone who has insight into these changes, or inside info.
Like did they decide that one thing wasn't getting them enough ad views, so they are trying another thing? Maybe they have a way to analyze posts to gauge how many cute cats, funny babies or so on are in them, then they show me stuff that doesn't have that, I click "hide" and they show me even more?
Like I will see stuff about motherhood or religious practices, that seems clickbaity, I hide it and still see more.
I would love to know what goes on in meetings at Facebook, how they decide to adjust the levers to tweak the algorithm. Like if there was a podcast on what they are changing and what they tell the shareholders, I would listen to that
TL;DR I can't find a good new music radio station
edit: not looking for radio station suggestions. I'm wondering how radio stations choose the music
So I am a Gen X, I love the music I grew up with but I don't really listen to it often.
I sometimes hear stuff that sounds cool to me, but it's not on radio stations. Like I will hear music like Zara Larsson; I Shazam songs and it's Chainsmokers, NOTD ft Emei, bands I never heard of, or I know the name but not the music. Or I hear a great song in the grocery store and it's Taylor Swift. She has so many albums, I am not deep diving into her albums at the moment. I just want to hear a broad selection of good light pop that I never heard but sounds a bit familiar.
I just want to hear new good music, without the chestnuts that traditional radio likes to throw in, like the Weeknd, Alanis Morissette, or songs that have not aged well like Genie in a Bottle.
Is this something that music directors battle with? Or are some radio stations kind of phoning it in, buying playlists or relying on old ones without really thinking about it?
Apparently my local grocery store uses a music service, but that is unavailable to the public 🙃 I found something close I think on their app (Stingray Digital)
I always like the music on the PA system whenever I go to Metro 🙃 it's better than any radio station that I've heard. It's good music; but nothing I have heard before. Most music on the radio, I have heard it before too many times lol.
Anyone know what Stingray or XM channel it is? I assume it's some satellite service.
Thanks!
Anyone use this company? Any reviews, are they reputable? Do they operate out of Toronto?
Thanks
