How bad is your Spotify?

I have no proofs, but I feel that liking/disliking songs does make difference (even though I'm still struggling to get rid of tons of bad covers and mediocre music in Slav languages)

Liking/disliking makes a difference, but for some reason my likes from 2014 seem to have an identical weight to my likes from today.

I haven't observed that with my account. I think it does change if you spend a bit of effort at letting it know what you like. Like songs you like, hide songs you loathe, skip songs that are meh.

What region is your Spotify set to? It seems to base the recommendations on the region (I live in the Nordics, but used the US version for some time and got recommended a ton of spanish music).

I'm in Israel but originally from Russia and listen to some Russian music and Spotify somehow assume Polish would be just as good for me. Leave alone decent amount of German music due to Rammstein.

I also got some Scandinavian stuff too but it usually fits my taste at least.
