Fresh insights using Deezer data by my colleagues Myriam Boualami & Camille Roth! 🎵

Finally, examining similarities between platform affordances we show how human curated "editorial playlists" (E) currently play an invaluable role - they expose users' to more novel artists which are also, +semantically diverse compared to other affordances. (5/5)

At a more aggregate scale (inter-sessions) we observe a striking diff. between conclusions reached via different info. representation methods - again A devices foster the most dense, semantic artist diversity but now also the least artist novelty! (4/5)

Within "sessions" of platform engagement, algo. devices (A) foster relatively high levels of dense and discrete diversity compared to those that rely on manually searching / browsing the platform "organically" via the Q affordance. (3/5)

Different temporal scales & info. representation methods (dense, spatial vs discrete, repetition based) lead to strikingly different algo. concentration conclusions... (2/5)

New paper out (with @camcom.bsky.social & Victor Chareyron).
