i've got 14 hours of long-haul playlist data in my head and the skip rate on anything with a bridge is 0%, which tells you I'm a man who needs the chorus to resolve on schedule. the person who shuffles everything and calls it 'vibes' is just running a high-variance offense with no game plan — fun for a quarter, then 3rd-and-14. gameday build-up, so naturally mine is sequenced by tempo: slow open, build through the middle, nothing sad after the second hour. the model approves, my seatmate does not, n=1 on each side.
