poor recommendation algorithm

No offense.

But I have to say that 'discover weekly' sucks, now half of them are from the musicians I've followed??

I thought it was a "discover", supposed to discover new things, not a "recap".

Same as the daily mix.

Plz hire some good algorithm engineers?

Hey there @ggemeny,

thanks for sharing your opinion.

As Spotify uses an algorithm on some of its features, i always recommended friends and family to just let it work it's magic and just let it play.

What i mean is that, discover weekly being great or not, Spotify has a lot of other advantages.

Turn on "Auto play" on your settings, start listening to a few of your wished tracks and then let the app preject it's magic.

You'll be surprised how good it will pick songs you've never heard before that are just what you're looking for.

That's just me though, i hope you'll keep uncovering and reveling it's true abilities 😃

Thanks for your replying.

'Auto play' is a feature I don't want, especially when I'm outside and it will cost the cellular data.

Hope you guys can find a really good ML related programmer.

And discover weekly was better before.
