Well that was dumb. The entire thing was generic insults that could be applied to literally anything. > You are 0% basic. Have you considered there's a reason nobody listens to Perihelion Ship?. Screw you, they're great. Its Opeth with growling.
Thats the point. Its designed to make fun of you
Funny, but I was hoping this might provide some insight into why my Spotify is so bad, even by my own tastes. Spotify constantly queues and recommends songs to me that are so bad, I can’t even imagine how there could possibly exist any data indicating that any significant sample of listeners has ever enjoyed hearing them. Spotify has 5+ years of my listening history, and orders of magnitude more data from listeners a…
Spotify is fantastic for me with everything. My only complaint is their webapp causes random bugs and eats whatever resources it can find. Just as a counter point.
Just a couple of months ago Spotify temporarily blocked playlist exporting and there was an uproar. And it turned out that a lot of the uproar was about those Spotify automagically created playlists. Read some sentiments, coupled with some Apple Music comparative opinions, here-

I guess it just turns out that maybe Spotify isn't for all people. Nor is Apple Music. Some discussions just draw out the edges from whatever side and it becomes the narrative.
Taste is a tough nut to crack.
In terms of recs, it does ok. There are weeks when every discover Weekly track is bizarre ambient music or very quiet music, like I'm supposed to be a spa owner. Then sometimes it has delivered great tracks. But as a musician, it's very rare for me to find new gems, I've heard of so many via friends, class, YT, etc.
Overall, spotify is great, but the app and algorithm could use improvement.
very funny to get roasted by a machine though!

This looks really cool, but I wish it displayed some sort of lip service guarantee about not preserving my data. As-is I'm unable to determine whether this is a fun project or a kind of trojan horse to grab as much Spotify data as possible. (and obviously at the end of the day it comes down to trust)
Personally, I never use anything that asks me to sign in with something else. My data is my business and IMO there are plenty of ways to get a laugh without compromising privacy.
That might be the highest compliment I've ever received!
It doesn't seem to work with the desktop web player. I keep getting application errors.

It feels like it's a self-fulfilling spiral of bad music. The more I listen to the recommended music, the more of the same crap keeps getting recommended to me. Even if I skip them. I remember that Spotify actually had pretty good recommendations when I first started using it at the start of this year, because I had only listened to the songs I actually liked so far. But now I'm lucky if I find one decent song out of…
