The only good thing about Spotify is that you can control the algorhythm with a bit of work instead of the other way around.

I'm feeding off the weekly recommendations that are filled with the 6-8 genres I like. I don't get any mainstream garbage in my recommendations, and am finding New Songs every week.

I bet those articles come from the 3 big Labels

For me the recommendations have been circling the drain for a while. It's just the same songs over and over again, and it seems to have decided that I only like ambient electronic music and indie pop, both of which I actually find quite boring. No matter what I do, and no matter how much I like songs in other genres, that's what it serves me, along with the occasional '80s hit because it has figured out I'm old. It was good for a few years but then seemed to get stuck in a rut.

I've been very cautious over all the years that ive been using it. My rule is to only like what I wouldn't mind listening daily to, and do playlists for all the other stuff that I don't want to get bombarded with.

It has worked out for me.
