Algorithms prioritize engagement by recommending similar content, reinforcing user preferences and creating "aesthetic cocoons" that narrow musical boundaries, as seen with fans like Ruoyun quitting due to homogenization.
Platforms can balance this by injecting diversity—e.g., recommending unfamiliar genres, using human-curated playlists, or allowing user controls over exploration vs. personalization.
