How do algorithms shape taste and visibility, and should listeners be concerned about homogenized music experiences?

I am friends with quite a few musicians and what they tell me is when more people stream their music, the more they get paid in revenue

I haven't used any music streaming platform, I always listen to music from my digital library. I think streaming culture is helping indie artists.
