I guess this is a less technical question - but what would your advice be to an artist who wants fans of their more famous influences (similar artist) to discover their music? Aside from the obvious (tour, market yourself to popular playlists etc).

Sounds like there's some NLP and web-scraping involved...so would it make sense to come out with blog posts that compare you to the famous artists that influence you?

only thing you can do to influence the collaborative filtering system is to make users listen to both you and some other artist.

as i mentioned in another reply, CF is really what powers DW

In this context, what does CF and non-CF mean?

Thanks.

Collaborative filtering methods vs non-collaborative-filtering recommendation methods.
