So I need to provide them with my Spotify credentials? Isn’t this like one of those personality harvesting Apps on Facebook? Can’t we permission The Pudding to see our place instead of logging in as us?

I don't know how much Spotify uses human curation, but Apple Music has a lot of human editors behind the scenes to assemble -- and update/maintain -- what I'm pretty sure are tens of thousands of playlists at this point, based on artist and genre and subject and mood and more. And while this is absolutely one of those Totally Subjective YMMV Works For Me May Suck For You deals, for me it's been far more hit than miss…
It is subjective, but I agree with you and enjoy the human touch on the Apple playlists. I tried Spotify long ago, had some issues and then moved to GPM. I used GPM for years until they started pushing me to YTM, so I moved to AM. AM has been the best experience so far, but like you said, YMMV.
... LMAO. love it.
I'm so offended now. I mean, not surprised...

Another tip: Spotify seems to ignore anything you listen to during a "Private Session". I listen to a lot of ambient and instrumental music while I work, but I don't want recommendations based on this, so I always start a private session.
Unfortunately, "private session" resets every X hours.
Is anyone fed up with seeing a song in their Release Radar, getting excited about your favourite artists releasing a new album, then being disappointed that the artist has decided to only drop one song from the album, which you will likely get sick of before the album releases?
> Your spotify was horny-soundtrack-movie-soundtrack bad. I suppose because soundtracks and 90s dance remixes are what I listen to while programming. For soundtracks, I made a playlist that goes for 28hrs 30 mins full of: * Hans Zimmer * James Horner * John Williams * Alan Silvestri * David Newman * Danny Elfman * Christopher Tin * John Powell * Michael Giacchino * Ramin Djawadi * etc
I have to give huge applause for the quality of writing. I genuinely can't tell how expansive the responses are, which is huge for AI. It definitely has the UX feel of being a bit creepy on how well it responds.
