Music

I routinely added new music I've discovered from elsewhere to my Spotify.

I rarely listen to playlists created by Spotify (i also don't listen to other people's playlists either but significantly more than the Spotify one)

I have hundreds of playlists, most of them are ideas i had that i haven't added to so many of them have only a few songs in them.

Another example i have a playlist that is One - Metallica, One - U2 and Chris Cornells mashup of the 2 songs

Just 3 songs because that's all it needs to be

I don't engage much with other people through it, and i don't even "like" all of the songs i listen to.

I've heard other people complain greatly about the algorithm they use but I've had a really good experience with it to date.(Helped me find me things i enjoy listening to and also things i would never have found myself)

I feel it's because i put a fair amount of time injecting music into my experience that isn't dictated by Spotify i have this different experience.

I like to choose a specific song as a seed, and let Spotify keep playing after that.

That's what has worked very well for me, but i feel if i didn't often start with something I've heard elsewhere it would not have worked so well for me.

Some notes, i listen to guitar driven music mostly. But also enjoy classical music and piano as well, but most of the new stuff i seek to seed track on Spotify is new modern rock.

This works very well for me, but it does what i want.

The other reason i still use Spotify is that after trying Tidal and Deezer I rarely can't find what I'm trying to listen to.

Honestly the only thing i like about Spotify actually is the catalogue and that it isn't google or apple.

Ive had more that l than a few ... Intergalactic Journeys... Thinking about a repository of music and nanny different versions of it. Still hoping something turns up in 5 to 10 years

And lastly i absolutely loathe when they add things or make changes as well as their playlist creation functions.
