> For a better discovery tool you need to use data from outside of Spotify

I hope it’s ok to do a bit of shameless self promotion here on HN. I shared my open source Reddit Playlists project here as a Show HN post recently which aims to do exactly what you suggest by using Reddit posts.

The idea is pretty straightforward - Each week ~100 music subreddits are scraped for the most popular posts in the last week, and then a Spotify playlist is compiled with the tracks have been posted. Each playlist updates automatically every Sunday.

The main project page with a link to all the playlists is here: https://jameslawlor.github.io/reddit-playlists/
