You're getting trapped in my wording... pushing at the edges can also mean things like "let's see what what.cd has on freeleech because those chaps tend to have good taste." Meanwhile, suggest-o-matics like Spotify actually paint you into a corner in the long run. Look up the term "filter bubble." And, hey, it's impossible not to hear stuff on the radio, on TV, etc unless you deliberately isolate yourself!
