Personally I don't rely on Spotify for recs, or even regular listening. I like finding things through online communities (including old ones), college radio, and in lesser cases the youtube algorithm.

My only purchases now are through bandcamp or at concerts.

Likewise. The Spotify listening I do is to check out albums I've discovered elsewhere before putting down some money for them. So typically new releases from artists I already know, recommendations from friends, or support acts at concerts I'm planning to attend. I should try to purchase through Bandcamp more as a first option before iTunes.
