Spotify designtes songs that play that way because it's a casino rigged against playing unknown and independent artists. Each time a song is played, Spotify has to pay royalties, by steering money to artists that buy spotify ads, and to major labels, they get major kickbacks. If they paid indie artists properly, their operational budget would be much lower. Payola is the real reason why music doesn't play randomly almost anywhere anymore. It's even the case with many app music players that you download in app stores, the whole music industry is skewed to favor just a few well known and industry planted artists under the hood. And it's bent on getting worse.. If you hear an already popular TikTok song playing in the supermarket or at a gas station, it's literally driving royalties up for the involved artist. It's also why you rarely hear new music from small artists, and why Taylor Swift dominates news media every time she scratches her nose. If you are regularly featured on the front page of YouTube, Spotify, and on CNN.Com, you dominate streaming now, and nobody else can get that spot without being backed by major money. This is why I back up and always carry my own personal music collection. Streaming now is a generically engineered and controlled repetitive hellspot for me without real choice.
