Spotify has a “shuffle” option that includes recommended songs. This setting frequently gets stuck on - yesterday I was fighting with it for 5 minutes, then ended up giving up and switching to local music because it wouldn’t let me turn it off. I even pointed out to my wife what absolute horseshit this is. Basically, even if you pay them Spotify is going to try to fuck you over.

Side note, I have a months old extremely one-sided email chain with Spotify support in which I send them all the obvious unlicenced bootlegs that they jam into my release radar… they told me to keep sending them examples, then stopped responding. Note that there is no way to report songs in the app, or via their reporting system.

If you follow any dead rappers (or Lil Wayne), you definitely know the bootlegs I mean. I know I’m wasting my time but I can’t pass up the chance to tell them they are useless fucking assholes once a week.
