I mean, the actual problem is that people listen to playlists and recommendations from Spotify itself. They voluntarily eat turds, then complain that what they just ate tastes like shit.

The solution is simple - curate your own playlists, or find people with tastes similar to yours that shared theirs.

Don't give a company power to pick music for you, then complain that they have such power.

Another worthwhile solution is to listen to independent radio -- locally or online. You'll find more new interesting artists and music in an hour of listening to (quality, non-Clear Channel/i-heart) radio than you'll ever find using Spotify or any other service's suggestion algorithms.


This sounds like a sensible advice too. I never tried it myself though.
