  • I don’t know this for sure, but I think it’s something along the lines of certain record companies can pay to have their artists played more often than others so when you start a playlist on shuffle it’s biased toward those higher “tier” songs. I think caches also plays into it to a degree, but it’s definitely not just an issue with a lack of randomness. I think they do the same thing with the “AI DJ” which will play completely irrelevant songs to your tastes in a small group and then go back to normal at intervals. “Hey this is your DJ X, you just heard Kat Stevens so now I’m gonna play Kendrick Lamar (which you’ve never once played willingly) and I’ll be following that with a few other things that are currently being promoted”






  • As other people have said it’s somewhat all of the above, though the biggest and most visible on xray is the narrowing of the joint space from deterioration of the cartilage. This causes arthritis, and also calcification of the joint which is also all worsened with age and varying bone density which can change based on things like ancestry, gender, habits (drug use/smoking) or medical conditions.

    Edit: I also forgot to mention that occupation can make a big difference here. Being overweight AND having a job that is strenuous on the knees (construction/manual labor/heavy lifting) is a bad combo which can lead to joint deterioration and premature joint replacement as well.
