I do think the Spotify DJ has been dumbed down a lot since its launch (“a’ight, I got you. Here’s some songs for your washing up session.” [proceeds to play the same 10 songs it always does]).

But for classical music: Apple Music Classical is where it’s at, it understands the relationship between composer, work and recording.

Absolutely agree on the dumbing down. I'm guessing it's getting heavy use, for many it's probably the default thing to go to - so an easy target for cost optimization.

Mine will randomly go "Here's some driving tunes" while I'm sitting still, or introduce to me to "The Kings of Leon" when I have some of their songs liked and in my playlists. It's pretty clear there's not a lot of my data in the the input context, or it's not been improved over time.
