FYI Spotify says their recommendations take into account how much money they make from you listening to a particular song, and if they make any at all. It may recommend songs based on your listening history, but that’s not the only thing picking the songs and deciding what order to suggest them. Their playlists and recommendations are a pay to play system, like commercial radio stations.
In my opinion, Spotify isn’t an end all be all. It’s the entry fee to the music industry.
Here is an actual example. I love pop music. Spotify recommended a singer name CL and then showed me her concert in the local area. I bought tickets to her concert. Spent money on her merch. Enjoyed the concert.
Without Spotify, there is little chance I would have even know she existed.
