I've gone back to the high seas and bandcamp myself. Spotify stopped having humans curate their playlists back in like 2016 or 2018 and the subsequent ML algorithms always recommend the same sounding stuff, nothing ever new or interesting. I'm back to getting recommendations in real life and literally talking to bands after their sets on who they listen too.
Never been happier listening to music ATM.

Just skip Spotify at all.
