Think they also direct listeners to cheaper to license sound-alike version of songs, especially from previous decades. I've pretty much given up on the recommendations from any of these companies. Pandora used to be reasonably good but they started playing the Studio 54 game where there was always another higher level of subscription to buy to avoid annoyances they would create. The best recommendation engine I've used was last.fm for the xbox. I could leave that on all day and rarely need to do a skip. But that was discontinued long ago, maybe ten or fifteen years ago? Haven't seen anything come close since. Amazon keeps giving me free Amazon Music but it's not even worth the bother of loading up as the system is so focused on anything and everything except my musical tastes.
