My Question or Issue

I joined a blend playlist with 7 other people, and not a single song added to the playlist was added for me. What is the point of blends if you’re going to have people join them and then not have any music added for them?

to test the issue further, I created a blend with a subset of that original group, so it’s just me and 3 other people. Initially I had songs in the playlist, but as each person joined I had less and less songs until there were only 3 songs added for me out of the 50 or so total. Why isn’t there an even distribution? I feel like the messaging of blends is togetherness but this has been the opposite experience for me. 

I listen to Spotify daily and have had Spotify for over a decade so I can’t imagine that there’s not enough listening data for me, but not something I’ve ruled out. Really my question is, how is the song distribution decided, and why is it not just an even split?
