Unpersonalized playlists from Spotify

I personally feel that Spotify generally does a good job at knowing what I like and what I don't when it comes to music selection. This year, however, I'm starting to have my doubts after I scrolled through the "Best of the decade for you" playlist from the 2019 wrap-up. Within this playlist I came across 3 songs from an artist I had blocked a long while back. I'm just wondering how songs from an artist I have had blocked managed to end up on a playlist of what Spotify calls "A few of the many great songs from the past 10 years in a playlist tuned for you." Because the way I see it, Spotify could do a bit more tuning in how they tune the playlist for me and my musical preference.

This "Best of the decade for you" thing is just one big screw up and let down. What could've been a great thing became a big "Meh" that should have been named "Random songs from the decade people listened to in your area".
Highly doubt that anyone got a list that reflects their decade in music, at least non of my friends or anyone I've talked to have appreciated it.
Luckily I'm a long time user of Last.fm so I've generated my own Best of-list but I feel sorry for the ones that doesn't have that opportunity and is stuck with this pile of sh...

You'd think that since they're such a large corporation, they'd be able to put together an algorithm of some sort that compiles songs from your "top songs of the year" playlists, but clearly they're incapable of doing a task as simple as that!
