  1. The album picture may be disappointing for some
  2. If I hid the album cover I gotta hide the name, too.

Is my answer style also a giveaway?

[–] dandelion@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 4 months ago

ha, probably - it makes sense to me!

Depends. Do you listen to them far more than any other artist? If so, I'd say yes.

[–] Unpigged@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 4 months ago

With varying intensity and despite my best attempts to switch, yes.

Trying to be a top listener on a media platform? 

People have been doing that since the last.fm days. Not sure why it wouldn't be a special interest.

Enjoying structured noise Is not a competition and I have better things to do with my life than chasing ratings.

[–] sem@piefed.blahaj.zone 1 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Why are you posting for clout then?

[–] Unpigged@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Clout? It's /autism, and you're thick as brick.

[–] sem@piefed.blahaj.zone 1 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Why else post something saying you are in the top % of listeners

[–] Unpigged@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 4 months ago (1 children)

If you can rationalize other's behavior only through a competition of sorts, then I'm truly, deeply sorry for your. It's a sad way to live.
