Humans initially prefer simple stimuli. But get bored fairly quickly enough. Humans tend to dislike complex stimuli. But tend to like those better as time passes.
What pays more for a music distributor? Make a lot of crappy simple music? That will sell and that people will get bored of and so buy more of the shit. Cuz... of the principle of familiarity? Humans tend to like things simply because they are being exposed to it.
So I wonder if you should blame them for being tyrannical or w/e. Maybe they just think things to be more profitable this way.
