I agree with you regarding spotify (though in my opinion lastfm was better ages ago), but I completely disagree with Netflix. Even if it weights genres I might like, netflix always recommends me whatever is popular at the moment. It might be because of the service balkanization, but in the past I was able to find hidden gems on netflix, the same afterwards with prime video, but nowdays not only I have to browse in the text catalogs you might find online to quickly search among all the stuff I don't like, to find something I might enjoy that would certainly be buried in netflix UI. And even worse, I find myself rewatching my favorites instead of being able to find something different than blockbusters in the platforms.
