How much do you listen to music on Spotify? If you were rating music on scale of 1-10, how much music that you listen to on Spotify is at a 7 or above?

My Discover Weekly used to be pretty mediocre until I started better curating my playlists. I'd grab a playlist, throw it on in the background and call it good enough. There were certainly songs that I didn't like playing, and the algorithm had no way of differentiating what I did and didn't like.

I pruned my playlists so that the music playing is only stuff that I highly enjoy. This made a huge change to my Discover Weekly and my Daily Mixes.

I use Spotify as a way to preview music in order to make a buying decision - so there may be a lot of confusing things for Spotify to figure out. However I also maintain many playlists which are large and only consist of songs I like.

Yet, Discover Weekly keeps recommending me music that is already known to me (or even part of those playlists) or simply not that relevant. My Bandcamp feed does a better job.
