The most engaging things to listen to while studying

That moment when you open up a textbook and you open up a YouTube video or music and the video has like 0.7k views and the channel has like 500 subscribers has no comments and 2 likes. The link in the description is for a link to Spotify and the name is like "rainy night club" or something but it sounds like lo fi hip hop. It's all generated. Anyone who's tried to study and listen to music has seen this. <br><br>I think it's a great thing that all these videos are engaging, but my question is, why is it so engaging? Why is it so good for engaging the brain in the way that it is? The music is a specific algorithm, right? Out of the 1001+ different songs the encoder could have encoded, this is the one that the algorithm deduced would be the most engaging. So why do our minds all hook onto the same thing? For a piece of art, music is so haywyre when it comes to individual tastes. Music is such a highly subjective thing. <br><br>Who else is interested in this? I think it's really interesting.
