Recommendation 18

18 Paragraph: 153

Algorithms are fundamental to the operation of streaming services.

Recommendation
Algorithms are fundamental to the operation of streaming services. However, many questions remain about how they influence music consumption and how much oversight exists. The Government should commission research into the impact of streaming services’ algorithms on music consumption, including where creators are forgoing royalty payments in exchange for algorithmic promotion.
