as a Gen-z pop head stat nerd, this kind of discourse is all I've known. its what socialized how people my age talk about music. I also whoever, share that feeling of how twisted it is. There is so much around this topic to talk about. It plays into the gambling issues that you talked about, the "industry plant allegations" trend, high streams = good music disillusionment.
My hope is that, like sports, actual qualitative debates will still find ways to challenge people at a large scale. In the sports world, you get Stephen A Smith and in this industry we get Anthony Fantano and bloggers alike.
The biggest threat I feel is algorithms using stats to decide what music it feeds to people, I know for a fact that there is music out there that has less than 1,000 streams that would be cherished by the recording academy that would never be recommended by any algorithm.
