What music are you generally listening to?
There may be some odd connection made internally, between fans of some specific genres and Dutch rap, and you were unlucky enough to be hit by it.
I get why Spotify doesn't want to expose the connections their algorithms make (because that's their biggest competitive advantage), but it would be nice to dig through once in a while, to see the connections they've made.
- dx034 9y agoA very broad mix. I think it's reinforcement. A few songs slipped on their by some connection, which is fine. Because I listen to Discover weekly, it'll then register that I listen to songs of that genre and add more of those. It appears to me that they include Discover weekly consumption in determining preferences. Any personalised Spotify playlist should be excluded to avoid this kind of reinforcement.
- mancerayder 9y agoI suspect the same. If you accidentally listen to initial terrible playlist of stuff they want you to discover, the AI will register you as confirming you love that genre for the rest of your life. Hah, imagine that, AI Cognitive Biases!
