Their recommendations that I got then seem leagues better than what the big modern streamers give now.

For all their AI and ginourmous models, they mostly seem to be stuck on "what you listened to yesterday".

I always felt like the Spotify recommendations were cheap knockoffs. Its clear Spotify either earns more money from those plays, or the artists have gamed the system.

Edit: by cheap knockoffs I literally mean artists who look and sound like the original. Eminem knockoffs come to mind as particularly striking.

Google Play Music was pretty good, especially the auto-generated playlists (albeit a bit repetitive after a while), made me discover a lot of artists, so of course Google had to kill it.

Nowadays I use Deezer and it's definitively worse.

I keep pointing this out and it seems like nobody believes me.

I miss the last.fm radio so much!
