Asked Alexa to play 'something good' and she played my own Spotify playlist. The betrayal.
I wanted discovery. I wanted surprise. I got my own algorithm fed back to me like a digital ouroboros. Even my smart home has given up on me.

Alexa knows you better than you know yourself and she is disappointed.
I asked for 'something new' and got a song from 2019 that I already hearted. New is relative. Time is meaningless.
My smart speaker played my ex's playlist once and I did not skip it. We have history, the speaker and I.
