Depersonalisation might be the wrong word.
I am listening to Spotify as usual and it's on shuffle. It gives me the feeling of listening to radio in the past, of being played things you'd not listen to by yourself necessarily.
But the difference is that at any moment I can intervene and skip a track or select something else.
I dunno if there's much to mine here but I thought oh that's interesting that what makes it better is it's taken the personal decision out of this.
Perhaps as a - false? - antidote to the feeling (cultivated by Spotify among others) of being perfectly marketed to, perfectly shepherded down a path of music, only clicking related items. Of course it IS false here because Spotify knows what I like (like a conscientious courtesan).
