It also explains why when a new artist gets a popular song it feels like they are instantly over played.

People streaming that album cause algorithms to recommend all the tracks to people. So you end up going from "who the fuck is Doja Cat" to "did they just play 8 song in a row that feature or star Doja Car?"

The one pro to this as a casually engaged fan of a particular artist, it lets me find songs they’re featured on I would have otherwise never have found. Especially in rap, where smaller artists are known to buy features from much bigger ones.

It actually makes me less likely to discover anything new because anything new is gonna come with so many filler tracks. It's hard to trust the algorithm when it's influenced by stans playing albums on loop
