Well maybe if their shitty algorithm didn't only play the same 8 or 10 songs over and over people wouldn't be getting tired of them

It's because the songs are cached on your device, and cached songs = less network traffic for Spotify = less costs = more money.
That ain't it. All my songs are downloaded to my device and I still experience that.
Maybe it doesn't take into account your actual cached songs, it's just tuning the algo thia way results in reduces traffic.
It could also be that they royalties on these songs are lower so they play them more often. Didn't they get caught pushing AI generated music since it's free for them to provide?
Nah even if you clear the catch regularly it still doesn't help much. There's songs in my playlist I don't think I've ever heard.
Thos only happens to me when Spotify loses internet access, which is exceedingly rare.
Fucking finally
If you enjoy live concerts, check out the nugs app. Way better than spotify and some subscriptions have free live video concerts
You can browse what’s available before even signing up https://www.nugs.net/browse-artists/
Why can't I just dislike songs, so I never have to hear them again? Like the good old days
Like deleting the file old days?
I don't like the insinuation that I'm that old, it's correct, but I still don't like it
Yeah, damn. If only there were a big fucking X right next to the save button that tells the service not to play the song again. lol
Not to play that song again, when listening to that specific playlist . Please make sure to check sources before trying to throw shade in the future
You're joking, right? I wasn't listening to a playlist. Try reading next time because it clearly says what i was listening to at the top.
Yes, recommended tracks, which is an auto curated playlist generated by Spotify. Let me try and see what happens. Why gee golly mister, it seems to say the song is hidden in that list. Maybe that guy on the internet was just an idiot who didn't know what he was talking about.

"Playing from playlist: Discover Weekly"
Blocked for being either a troll or an idiot.
Yall are both dicks. Jesus.
Another one of those alienating moments for me.
One: I don't use spotify. Renting music is kind of a bad deal, IMO.
Two: I don't shuffle music. I usually pick an album and play it.
