Agreed on Spotify recommendations. I felt like the playlists I got from Spotify circa 2017 did a really good job of walking that line. Nowadays the "song radio" and "artist radio" playlists are bad. Definitely a step back. There are bands I still like that I've added to "Never play music from this artist" because Spotify puts them on every single playlist for me now.
Spotify “radios” became BS, no matter what song you choose to “radio” it will resort to play tracks from your library resulting in always the same songs being played, wait, maybe that’s why the call it “radio”. What we need is a “discover similar” function, don’t tell me that in the world of everything AI they cannot come up with better recommendations.
