If you never listen to pop music it’s really easy to see when Spotify is bullshitting you. It makes me a little mad, I’m pretty sure some DJs went to jail (at least got fired) for this sort of thing.

Overall the suggestions are good when they’re actually derived from what you listen to, but stuff like this really bothers me. Last night I saw some of it creeping into the discover lists which makes me wonder if the good recommendations are coming to an end. There’s certainly money in it for them in the short term.
