Spotify algorithms are complete trash.
There was a period when, for some reason, it would recommend playlists related to getting "tarted up", "makeup on", being a "powerful woman" etc and recommending lots of music it thinks is for women.
Though I do listen to a wide variety of music, there's nothing notable I'd say could encourage it to believe that.
Generally I play metal and rock, grime, rap, hip-hop; but also classical, some pop and indie, occasionally "UK Top 50", "Coding Mode" and "Jazz Vibes" playlists and lots of children's bath time songs.
I had to have a purge and its much better now but I still avoid the auto-playlists.
- b800h 3y agoI bet you it's the children's bath-time songs that did it. Very mumsnet-on-the-razz.
- alias_neo 3y agoIt's a weird one, the playlists it was creating for me had a very "young woman" vibe, say 20s, aside from not being a woman I am not that young either, also, does Spotify think parenting is only for mums? I wonder if it had something to do with my location; I was living in London and now live in the North.
