I thought so too, but I'm not completely sure since they rolled out the personalised "Time Capsule" playlists. Most of the tracks in mine seem more based on my age and location than my listening history. Particularly, many tracks that were in high rotation on a popular national alt/youth radio station when I was 10–15 with no obvious connection to my current listening habits.

I looked it up after writing the last paragraph, and indeed "playlists are [...] based on the country you live in, genres you listen to and your age" (https://www.billboard.com/articles/columns/pop/9456319/spoti...).

Still I'm not sure if this information comes from tracking or my mistake of signing up to Spotify with my Facebook account.

As well I've find the time capsule playlist absolutely horrendous in all its recommendations. Sure it plays some things from my library but that's what I have my library for. Everything it's suggested has been ridiculous and honestly had me thinking it was just another corporate mandated playlist by committee based more on money for plays than my actual enjoyment of the music provided.
