[Playlists] Spotify keeps showing the same songs in Recommended section for a playlist

[Playlists] Spotify keeps showing the same songs in Recommended section for a playlist

Spotify keeps showing the same songs in Recommended section for a playlist.

It's unclear what makes some songs appear in Recommended, and it's pretty much impossible to remove a song once it gets there. 

Banning artists and removing songs from the playlist seemingly does nothing. Exact same song will appear over and over again (or stay there forever, whichever way you look at it).

This feature is just broken.

I don't know what makes it broken - did the algorithm get stuck? is it only taking in account the songs at the beginning of the playlist, not really paying attention to what's on the end of it, what actually gets added and played?

But it's clearly broken. Same songs that I don't care about, that I've become to hate - only because Spotify keeps showing them over and over again. For literal years.

 

Maybe a 'Do not show this song here' button could fix it, but if the algorithm that picks the songs that go in Recommended is broken, it's really not gonna help.

So, the algorithm that picks songs that go in Recommended needs to get better.

 

And just in general, it's so tiresome to try to fix the algorithm quirks, and having to worry about what you listen, because the algo might just spawn yet another problem that will be impossible to fix.
