I rejected Spotify's Discover Weekly suggestions for a really long time, but lately I've been more and more accepting of the fact that wow, I really do like Discover Weekly's suggestions every week, and I don't know how to reconcile that

We're all dealing with the same thing but its not just Spotify...its every algorithm we encounter. Its hard to reconcile that we're not unique, we're extremely predicable.
Spotify's algorithm clearly doesn't know how to find music I like, but it's (afaik) a harmless heuristic that accidentally gets it right a few times.
