Why Music Heads Glaze Spotify, when the Alts put the service to shame?

I don't get it :why:

I have been using Deezer for a spell and the service shytttttts all over Spotify with no form of wiping:

  • Hifi
  • Flow>>>>>>Spotify's tired algorithm
  • Legit radio stations and some podcasts vs Podcast and Audiobooks in the way of music
  • AI not all in the videos
  • Better curation of playlists (found some legit slept on piff)
Like its 2025, and mofos are dying on hills just to get a cheap membership for a cheap ass service, when there's better streaming sites that are slept on.

True.

I guess it's the music snob in me that goes :hhh:
Spotify algorithm is bad for rap tho. It doesn't understand that just because an artist is technically drill or gangsta doesn't mean you should recommend a bunch of shytty drill rappers. Takes no interest in the depth and nuance of the subject matter nor the lyrical ability of the artist themselves.

I like YouTube Music because it has a lot of rare house mixes and EPs that people upload to regular YouTube. And I had a lot of YouTube playlists that it automatically pulls in.

I had it back when it was Google Play Music and then it changed to YouTube Music and gave you YouTube premium with it. Been working well for me. :manny:

Breh the algorithm is ass once you realize that its predetermined:

  • Listen to soul= recommends featuring tracks that were sampled by rappers
  • Listen to rock= focuses on the good Ole days of butt rock or emo hits
  • Listen to Griselda= the same few artists that fits that mold
So predictable. Don't get me started with the same ole hits, rather than other songs a artist has in their catalog. Meanwhile, Deezer pulls out some random Babyface and got the gall to play a Keith Washington track :banderas:

That's what I go through with Soca. I wanted to make a playlist based on Machel Montano, I'm not in the mood for Vybz Kartel. But I also got that with Pandora radio as well.

You’re talking about people glazing one product while you making a thread to glaze another product :mjlol:
