How is that even possible? They barely have anything!

> Their profile of me is probably very confused because I listen to a lot of different things and what I listen to is mostly dependent on context and what I'm in the mood for, which spans 5 decades of music and quite a few genres.

This is not unique. Probably most people are like this.

If you add shared devices like Alexa into the mix then it's even more all over the place.

For people like myself or my partner, this is kind of a perk. People who want Disney-style stuff have multiple platforms for it and those still exist, but the long-tail of Netflix can be great to dive into. My social bubble has gotten quite into the variety of Korean drama, including a few who'd never (normally) watch a subtitled show.
