| Michael Jackson's Thriller |

I was 10 years old when Michael Jackson's Thriller album was released. I'm pretty sure it's the first non cartoon/Muppet/Sesame Street album I ever owned. I also believe it's one of the greatest albums of all time. I won't go into all those details, since this is a Halloween blog, I'm going to focus on the title track: Thriller.
The song is one that you can instantly start dancing to, but I think that has a lot to do with the video that went along with it. Back in the early 80's, the M in MTV stood for Music and there was lots of it on the cable network. Music videos were all the rage. In fact, at one time, that's about all you saw on MTV. Artists had to be creative and flashy to get their music over. Michael Jackson lead the way.
By now we've all seen the Thriller video, and if you haven't let's get that out of the way now...

I know I'm probably overselling Thriller, but I grew up on it. I'm old enough to remember watching the video time after time and doing that crazy zombie dance in front of the TV. I listened to the album until I wore out the vinyl on my turntable. All these years later, we still do it from time to time here at my house. Rest in peace Michael, and thanks for the memories.
Why did they do that?
ReplyDeleteThe answer to this question lies largely on the surface. It was easier, more convenient, or there were ready-made patterns. Until the beginning of this year, the service developed mainly due to the fact that the Yandex brand has a certain recognition, and many of my friends chose it simply because it is already familiar. I chose it myself largely due to the fact that I just took advantage of the promotional offer. Perhaps the choice would have fallen on Sberbank if its recommendation system had been a little better. And also solely due to the recognition and availability of the promotion.
At the same time, there is no good example of such a service on the Russian market — because there is really no competition. Libraries of foreign services have always lost by being inferior to Russian ones in local titles, but since spring their fate has become clear, and they could no longer have a significant impact on the development of Russian analogues. And by that time, all Russian projects were at about the same level. On which they remain to this day. And the real question should sound like this: why does no one impose a competition for the consumer, providing the most comfortable user experience? https://sound-library.net/
