Investigating the lack of diversity in user behavior: The case of musical content on online platforms

作者:

Highlights:

• The index makes it possible to differentiate between different behaviors and identify the diversity of users that listen to contrasting music styles (see Section 5 for details).

• The index highlights a saturation process in the diversity of users’ attention (see Section 6 for details).

• The lack of diversity as captured by the index derives from exogenous factors related to the heterogeneous popularity of music styles, as opposed to internal factors such as recurrent user behavior (see Section 8 for details).
