A few months ago, I started sharing a song on youtube every Monday on Post.News
I just transferred the archives back here onto Grizzly Pear under its own WordPress Category.
I’m also tracking it on Youtube as its own playlist.
At the start of the year, I also culled my subscriptions. Youtube is an amazing platform … and incredible timesuck. I also blocked channels from the recommendation algorithm, especially the ones with entertaining videos.
In making Youtube boring, the algorithm was freed to unearth richer content. The latest random viral video pales against all the musical output that’s being shared at scale.
Youtube may be the best music provider on the internet, you just have to get rid of all the other videos.
