Something about this site depresses me. Someday, every obscure album you love is going to be "trendy" on RYM, it will get a huge crowd of fans who love it for the "aesthetic", a 3.87 rating, and yet something feels empty. All music is treated the same, just an object to consume, something to rate and add to your RYM chart. Music is no longer a journey of personal exploration, an algorithm will dig up everything half-way decent and show it to anyone even if they're not looking. There is nothing personal about sharing music anymore, nothing will remain hidden, everything is prostituted for the content mill. It's the death of music culture

Anyone else feel this way or am I just depressed?
