Algorithm doesnt care

Algorithm doesnt care

I don't know exactly how the algorithm that handles recommendations for similar songs in a user-created playlist works, but we could have something that relates mainly to the 50 most recently added songs. I say this because I created a playlist over 2 years ago, and it only presents the same recommendations related to the first songs added two years ago, not related to all the songs in the playlist or the most recent ones.
I hope I have been somewhat clear, and I hope that the algorithm will be corrected or something will be done about it because I believe it is lacking, not only in this part of the system but in others as well. I suggest taking a look at the algorithms used by other music platforms.

Thank you! 🙂

Hey @leonardoeron,

Thanks for reaching out. We've moved your post to the Help board as it better fits here.

As a first step in troubleshooting this issue, can you please create a new playlist, copy the contents of the affected one (using the Add to playlist button in the playlist context), and check if you're seeing the same recommendations?

Let us know how it goes.
