I used to hunt for music and movies. I was an enthusiastic movie and music fan. But these days, I mostly give up. I listen to underground/indie artists and some classical music. I ignore popular music and movies, especially those promoted on big platforms like Spotify.

It's sad that many talented artists are brainwashed by these big platforms. They chase after big money. They don't produce anything original.

I think the same thing is happening to software.
