Sure, it’s not the same as a human suggesting music. But sometimes people consume art for the art, not for the curator! Both are worthwhile.

Sure, and a simple random number generator will use significantly fewer resources for the same desired result.

    Surely you’d agree on second thought that Spotify’s recommendation algorithms are more reliable than pure chance?

      I’ve always found Spotify’s recommendations to be aggressively bad, to the point that complete randomness would probably be preferable.

      Spotify has spent 5 years pushing podcasts and audio booms at me, despite me never clicking one and showing interest. Spotify has very little idea what I want, it seems.
