New Yorker's Kyle Chayka on Algorithmic Culture, Artisinal Content & Gatekeeping

Algorithms = Music discovery made easy? Or lazy consumption?
In “Kyle Chayka Speaks Volumes,” Derrick confronts the relevance of taste and the meaning of gatekeeping in an ever-flattening cultural landscape, and together they unpack how algorithms have shaped modern culture (from cafes that look the same to viral memes about Donghua Jinlong, a Chinese glycine factory).
