Who knew humans were so bad at randomness that Spotify engineers had to write a whole new "random" algorithm to satisfy our music needs! 😂

when randomness isnt random enough to make us think its random

You deserve more subscribers than what you have right now because of this, editing is great! Please keep it up

For me, my shuffle button seems to just play music I've been listening to a lot recently, and its annoying.

it's not just randomness we want, its diversity + unpredicability.

Nice Video, just a suggestion. I think the camera click audio is overused, might want to cut it down a bit.

I really wish there was a secondary option to enable "true randomness". I have a playlist of 350 songs but for whatever reason some songs just get queued more than others, and by a big margin. For example ive had a song auto queue at least 10-15 times, and another song that has never queued. With 350 songs those odds are almost impossible for true randomness so i think the algorithm is messing with it and its starting to annoy me.

Chill with that sound effect JESUS

Nooo way! I didn't think the gamblers fallacy will actually be linked to Spotify one day.

I feel this all the time, the spotify shuffle isn't random and it's easy to tell, personally i think it's garbage it loves to lock me out of whole sections of music and then just focuses on the same shit constantly for another hour. I actually want then to actually force it to play different genres and give me a healthy suffle of songs. It doesn't have to be random, it just has to feel random to me.

My shuffle button doesn't shuffle, I hear the same tracks over and over again, and hate it. There is some music I won't hear for a year or more until I search for it

Excellent video I love the unique topic of it. This is also why Casinos make so much money off of the general public. It cannot fool people who understand the science of randomness. As a computer science student who dealt with a lot of statistics and user experience, this was a great video to watch. BTW, both VSauce (on his channel) and Neil D Tyson (on Joe Rogan podcast) have talked about this excellently if you are interested to check out.

If I remember correctly the original iPod had this same issue. Super interesting to think about this being an issue that is still with us!

Great vid, just cut down on the camera click usage. Once or twice is good

Yeah the other day Spotify said I'm listening to a song for 42hrs

This video is underrated! great pace.

Great video, but too many camera shutter effects. Keep it up though!

Another video that felt like it flew through, nicely done!

Here before you channel blows up. Great video

Very good job, mate!

A conclusion like this is nothing new. Algorithms that are used by Spotify and many other streaming platforms (including social media) base their selections on a user's previous listening history and will pretty much influence what song will be played next all in order to keep our butts glued to the platform and fulfill their bottomline which is profit. If anything, for anyone looking to find new music, they have to go out of the beaten path with intention.

that's hillarious! Great vid man

your channel is dope!

Pretty good video ! I would just like to advise you to tune down the sound effects for words which are a bit annoying and loud. Also I think that you would benefit by puttin your camera higher instead of looking downward which naturally does not favor anyone's appearance. Have a good day.

great video, awwwwful sound effects

great video and editing, but please dont put the loud camera sound effect every time a word pops up, or at least just turn it down, good videos though

Excellent video!!

It's a nice video but you should try to lower the number of those clicky sounds in your video the aesthetic is consistent but can be less clicky also cool topic, ❤❤❤

I was just listening to Lil Tjay... it is so random that you played that one Polo G song 😂 or is it?

1.7k views and only 261 subs... wow

wow you are so smart!

Nice Video!

im only 20 seconds in right now. Great video but i wont to rip my ears out from the constant camera clicking sound affect tbh

great vid but the camera click every word was a bit annoying

Pretty sure apple music done the same thing

Good video, just dont use the click so much next time, it gets kinda anoying

This is true though

Get it girly pop

nice echo

Why did you write a python code just to use it for a random number generator? 😂 you could have just used a random number generator on google
