1.3.1 Scalability: Scalability is an issue of the algorithms with massive and real-world datasets. Because the analysis on core techniques progresses and matures, it becomes clear that a basic issue for RSs is to see the way to implant the core recommendation techniques in real operational systems and the way to contend with huge and dynamic sets of knowledge produced by the interactions of users with items. An answer that works fine once tested off-line on comparatively tiny knowledge sets may become inefficient might be or perhaps totally irrelevant on terribly massive datasets. New approaches and large-scale analysis studies are required [9]. 1.3.2 Cold Start: 1.3.2.1 New User Problem:

Music nowadays is manufactured, over marketed, auto tuned garbage. It seems as though everything is becoming safe and easily digestible- almost like baby food.

Social dimensions tend to be scalar, especially if they are not tangible, but informational (Taleb 2010, p. 33). The transition from non-scalar to scalar dimensions is associated to the invention of the phonograph (Thompson 2016): before, a singer could gain only a limited amount for every exhibition, while the opportunity to record their performance made their income not bonded to the single show and scalable. All the while, this process has another consequence: previously, various musicians could play in different theatres, surviving with their profession but without becoming extremely rich; with the reproducibility of sound, all the listeners have the opportunity to buy the (perceived) best musician’s recordings, condemning the others to a more troubled career. As Taleb noticed, however, scalability is not only a propriety of technological development: even evolution is scalable, as only those who are more able to adapt survive. In the long run, only the best DNA will reproduce itself (Taleb 2010, p. 30).
