I feel like I’m the only one around here who likes the Spotify recommendations. I’ve gotten so many bangers that fit my various little niche genre tastes.
Bro so, Spotify is trippin on me. In my discover weekly it hit me with some bullshit called No cock like horse cock.
It started recommending gay playlists. Now I’m straight but I’m far from homophobic. Realized an artist I was listening to was gay so I let off. Then I got hit with another. And traced that one back to another artist. This one wasn’t so bad but it hit the chorus and went from a chill song to talking bout nuts slapping nuts.
I have to listen to their music outside of Spotify because honestly the recommendations are atrocious.
I listen to a meme song cause it’s stuck in my head and now what? The degeneracy of the Internet is my backyard. Featuring balls in my jaws, the Christmas edition and many more.
I often listen to my music while driving, and sometimes I just scroll and don’t look at song titles until something catches my attention.
Don’t mind the work truck. Also here’s my wrapped. Jake Hill I learned was a culprit lol.
I like getting recommendations, but that’s what the DJ is for. When I choose a playlist there’s usually a reason for it and adding random songs to it is not it.
can’t labels and artists pay for some kind of premium placement in discover weekly, release radar, and playlist recs?
ok, after some research, found this:
In some cases, commercial considerations, such as the cost of content or whether we can monetize it, may influence our recommendations. For example, Discovery Mode gives artists and labels the opportunity to identify songs that are a priority for them, and our system will add that signal to the algorithms that determine the content of personalized listening sessions. When an artist or label turns on Discovery Mode for a song, Spotify charges a commission on streams of that song in areas of the platform where Discovery Mode is active (Discovery Mode is not active in our editorial playlists). This signal increases the likelihood of the selected songs being recommended, but does not guarantee it.
so, at the very least, the recs you get are definitely not organic, and favor major labels, rich folks, and if Spotify can make any money off streaming the track in the first place
not saying the algorithm doesn’t get it right most of the time (they’d be shooting themselves in the foot if it was all sponsored), but if it’s favoring big labels and drowning out everyone else in the name of revenue for Spotify, I prefer to choose other ways to find new stuff. if Spotify needs more money to pay the bills, imho they should plainly be asking the consumers up front

The feature itself is fine, the fact that it’s literally in between you and turning regular shuffle on and off is incredibly irritating

That fact that this is coming from a lemmynsfw.com account is beautiful

See, I’d much rather just occasionally have to skip a song than listen to an AI mispronouncing band names.
It also cuts off the end of the song. Which is personally more irritating for me.
