Spotify plays whatever but not the music I like

For a few months I am having this issue but it becomes worse and worse over time.
I'm very picky about music and genres, but Spotify tries to give me a stroke or something. Let me explain.
I'm training at the gym, selecting 80s playlist, everything that has to do 80s rock music for heavy lifting and stuff... But Spotify gives me 10s rap. It rages me out.
I select a playlist of eurobeat music track, you know, that techno from 90s, but Spotify decides to play some kind of arab music. I'm not arab, not even close, I don't speak arabic, why the **bleep** it plays some muslim bs instead?
Today I select Prodigy as an artist playlist and guess what? It plays everything but not the Prodigy! And then, 4 ads in a row, 3 times ads about the game Deathloop, the one I care less about than anything else.
Is it my account infected? Is it bugged? How do I fix it? Do I stop using Spotify?
I don't like to sound like a racist **bleep**, but I have my taste, and some**bleep** blowing into my ears is completely disgrace of humanity!

A few months is a very long time. Are you sure no one else has access to your account, making the algorithm seem crazy? Maybe try logging out from all devices (you can do that trough account > Sign out everywhere here from the webpage), then change password and log in again with your devices. You have probably already checked, but also check if there is any updates. I hope it works out for you in a few days/weeks after doing that, good luck.

Hi there @WildSparrow & @Elinsstrom,

thanks for reaching and posting in the Spotify community !

In order to determine the issue here, i'd love to clarify something.

Please let me know if you've selected the playlist "This is Prodigy" for example and got Arab music instead or if you've got that sort of music from the autoplay option.

In the meanwhile, i'd like you to check out this info page to make sure you're the only one who's currently using your account.

Waiting on your update 🙂
