And since they removed my playlist radio, song discoverability has gone down so much. They just keep playing me the same damn music when I want related stuff.

For the life of me, I cannot figure out why they got rid of playlist radio. It makes Spotify so much worse and I can't imagine it saves them any money

[–] BURN@lemmy.world 11 points 1 year ago

Probably some over complicated statistical model that will eek out cents more revenue per user.

It’s one of the worst changes they’ve made and it’s legitimately been making me take another look at all of their competitors.

Why does any corporation decide anything ever? It's the money, Lebowski

For the same reason all the streaming sites decided to gimp their discoverability and just force you into whatever the algorithm thinks you need.

Some middle manager wanted to justify their bonus so they jumped in the current fad

I don't use any streaming service, instead YouTube Vanced or NewPipe when I want to make a queue... But I absolutely hate that the algorithm chooses whatever it wants no matter what you play, and it's just randomly chosen out of one of the few songs I played before. Also I sometimes play the one+ hour long compilations either to sleep (Nemo's Dreamscapes) or fantasy music and YouTube decided that auto play will always choose one of those after playing anything (rock, metal, country, folk, name it, it doesn't matter)
