Create Similar playlist gone

This feature was INTEGRAL to my usage of Spotify. I need to have it back in order to properly find new music I actually enjoy.

There is one way to do this still, but it is much more onerous. You can copy all the recommended songs at the end of the playlist you wanted to mimic into a new playlist and keep refreshing and copying the recommendations. Way more work, but it's something....

Between the removal of this feature and the additional price hike, likely going to cancel my premium subscription. There is not a single feature Spotify has added in the last two years that has been a positive improvement/experience for me.

Does anyone know why Spotify made this extremely stupid and customer-hostile decision?

There are complaint posts all over the internet about the removal of this valuable tool "Create Similar Playlist". People saying: Please bring it Back!

 

Unfortunately, many are not aware to come here to support bringing back "Create Similar Playlist". So the amount of people on this community asking for it to be brought back does not accurately reflect how many actually want "Create Similar Playlist" back.

 

The "Create Similar Playlist" feature also supports artists to be included in a playlist where they may not have been discovered otherwise and improves the overall music finding experience in Spotify. 

 

It would be super cool if Spotify proactively brought back "Create Similar Playlist" and took action on what users want.

 

Otherwise I wonder... 

Do these communities & comments actually get acted upon ? or is this simply a scapegoat for Spotify? 

 

Does Spotify actually really care about what users want.?

Please bring back this feature. Smart shuffle just plays songs you often already know, plus you have to skip through the playlist you currently have playing. The “create similar playlist” function allowed me to find much of my favourite music.

Using the radio function also just shows you a bunch of songs you already have saved/liked that are similar. Same with all the tailored playlists.

The only resource for finding new songs is Discover Weekly which can be hit or miss from week to week.

Please listen to us and just bring it back....
It was one of the best features in Spotify, i would 100x rather have this then smart shuffle or that crappy Spotify DJ

I really hope it was not removed for "corporate" reasons.

Please bring this function back, even if it costs more in some upgraded premium subscription. It is one of the few things that differentiate Spotify from it's competition.

 

I understand that this probably uses some sort of ML kNN clustering algorithms, which can be costly when scaled to Spotify user size, but again, if that's the problem create new subscription where I can pay for it!
