  My favorite part is when the AI DJ plays some dumb song it’s previously served up repeatedly, and then tells me how much I like it because I listen to it so often. I’d never choose to listen to it on my own, and the only reason I hear it is because Spotify keeps cramming it down my throat.

    Spotify recommends based on your listening habits. You base your listening habits on Spotify recommendations. Ergo, Spotify recommends based on its own recommendation. Ourobouros achieved.

      I used Spotify like 5 years ago and it was good. Tried to use it again this year and it’s recommendations and service were complete garbage.

    Yeah, that was what finally pished me over the edge a few years back. Switched to Tidal and have been very content with with it. They pay artists better, the sound quality is better, and the dily discovery playlist throws some serious curve balls. I have wide ranging tastes so it blends a few genres for a few weeks before moving onto something else, and it has introduced me to some AWESOME music that i would have never encountered otherwise.

    Why would you use the Ai dj to feed you songs, when the normal daily mixes, daylist, etc are giving you the same songs without the fake personality injected between them? I literally do not understand. I’m open to your thoughts - it’s just that it seems like an alien perspective.

      It gives you a general mix and exposes you to new things that are unrelated to things you’ve listened to in the past. I listen to a lot of punk and ska, and the AI DJ serves up random pop and things I otherwise would never hear.

  Not Spotify’s fault here, though. Shit legislation.
