I saw this article today and read it. I find it very ironic that RA of all people are publishing this. RA has always wanted to be popular or move into a more popular direction. For instance they reviewed Madonna’s latest “remix” album, when 15 years ago they were publishing good interviews and mixes and what not. > **[The Great Regression · Feature ⟋ RA](https://ra.co/features/4469)** > > We've all seen it: Keinemusik's dead crowds, Ibiza VIP platforms, Euro-washed Afro house. 2020s mainstream clubbing is an algorithm-smoothed spectacle that rewards mediocrity. Yet it's booming. Rachel Grace Almeida searches for why. ---

The late great Andrew Weatherall had a wonderful name for this, “cunt magnets”, they serve a purpose in keeping the wrong’uns away from something that’s actually good. ---
