This could be the start of a very long list.
I quit it when they ended my grace period of freedom. Turns out without it I am free to listen to whatever I like, whenever I like.
That's my main issue as a consumer. It deliberately makes life worse for its users, then tries to charge them for the freedom they had before they started using the app.
I don't understand why I should ever opt in to system like that. If there's any music or podcast that's exclusive to Spotify, obviously the producers don't want me to listen to it. They only want people who have been conditioned to give up their freedoms for imaginary convenience.
They are embracing AI music catered to the individual user, such as unlicensed AI remixes of music never intended to be remixed by an unthinking algorithm, etc.
They pay artists fuck all.

For that matter, all the major record labels (who are heavy investors in Spotify, getting paid on the backend so they don't have to cut the artists in) are shitty corporations. There's no ethical consumption under Capitalism, so do your best.

ah, social popularity is an odd expression if you're not talking about social media or someone who's popular at parties
and as I understand it, the doordash woman entered somebody's home but claimed sexual harrasment when she saw a half naked bloke, which apparently he had a right to be as she entered his property. If he had stepped outside the house with his cock out to get the pizza, it might have been a different story. She did not have a right to film him and post it on the internet, which is unlawful distribution of sexualised images. So while you might find her Karen bleatings of victimhood satisfying as she gets her comeuppance, I still don't see how it relates to equality of opportunity or outcome.

Don't worry about it
I'm used to people not seeing what I do. Even people I see in real life have said that it took them years to figure out that I make valid, if obscure, observations, usually much earlier than anyone else is able to see the connection. I do use odd expressions when they are apt. I have no worries being odd, I've interacted with people that aren't...
As an aside, I did a psychological personality test once out of curiosity, it said I was an expansionist creative.
"Excels at combining seemingly unrelated concepts, technologies, or artistic styles to forge something entirely new. Possesses a relentless drive to consume diverse information. Is willing to fail, embracing the "mad genius" stereotype by navigating the fringes of convention and taking risks that others avoid. Connects disparate dots and identify gaps in knowledge to create new insights.".
You seem to want to be offended, but you also don't seem certain why. Just call me something, insult my intelligence, call me arrogant or whatever, label me for convenience, and we can short circuit all this and get on with other, more important, things. I'll leave you with a question though. What are elections other than a social popularity contest? Job interviews? Dating? Even something like the concept of good and evil if viewed in the right way. It's a much wider concept than social media or parties. There are many other examples, some unspoken, some explicit.
Your description of what happened regarding Doordash girl is quite accurate. Those are indeed the events as they seem to have happened. I'm sure she expected a different outcome.

If you want them to make sense, you have to feed them. Get an AI, feed it what you want it to help with; for example "research all tax documents for Barnsley in 1979", then ask it questions about that. If it is still playing retard, tell it, and explain that you want a specific search. I do mean that you literally tell it it is being retarded, it'll help you refine your search. All computers are stupid. They need help.

Rodeo Terrorists - Monkey
I made this!
So after getting my arse fully roasted by you lot for posting a video made with AI, I thought I'd go balls deep and post this cover / remix of my 2014 tune called 'Monkey' that I made. So the computer thing told me it thought the tune needed a electro-swing jazz treatment, and who was I to argue with the digital gods. Anyway its sort of annoyingly great and irritatingly terrible in equal measure, but in recompense for making a video with AI I'd like to extend the olive branch of peace and harmony to anyone perhaps interested in making a suitably idiotic video to go along with it.

If you're going to use AI to generate a cover of your own track, it's better to describe in detail the sound you have in mind instead of clicking suggestions, and set it to max similarity. If it preserves the chord changes, bass lines and melody, at least you can claim some ownership.

I'd still quite like my DAW to 'learn' my style of working and facilitate a faster workflow, I guess contextualised searching of MY samples and whatnot could be useful too, but that's about as far as I'd be willing to go.
I'm sure the 'best' prompters have to learn a few useful technical terms. Not exactly ABRSM Grade 8 though, is it. Not even grade 7 Music Theory, though I'm sure having that would help. Somehow.
