I do as well. But for just listening day-to-day or in the car, I've found that listening to albums helps to improve my attention span. My brain isn't being asked to change its rhythms and mood over and over again.

That’s fair. I like Bluesky so much, but I keep gaining followers, but little engagement. It’s frustrating.
