Lizzo says the social media algorithm is killing the music industry. And she might have a point.
She says, quote, “If your algorithm is super serving you things out of order of when they’re happening, then the general public has no idea when music is actually coming out… Music marketing relies heavily on social media, but now, ever since the algorithm has been showing us things out of order, there’s actually no way to successfully promote an album where everyone knows your album is coming.”
@lizzoDon’t get me started on how the algorithm is racist & fat phobic
