Spotify deletes 70 Joe Rogan episodes

Amazing - you should be proud of your team’s work! On Spotify, my experience was that it’s recommendation system would simply recommend songs from the same bands I’ve already told it that I like. But Apple will dig up some obscure band I’d never heard of and - POW! - it would be awesome and a new favourite band.

The recommendation system alone is what keeps me looking past all the errors with the software being unable to play a song on demand on a regular basis.

Congrats again!

Thank you again! There is a lot that goes into quality search and recommendations, and I was just a small piece of a great team.

Very strange. I would probably pay my Spotify subscription just for the recommendation service. Did you use Discover Weekly actively? Did you share your account with children, at parties, etc.? I'm always puzzled by how Spotify recommendations seem to be so hit and miss for people. I wonder if it could be related to the type of music one listens to.

I play my son music using my phone. Spotify bury the "Private Session" toggle deep in the settings, and arbitrarily turn it off again after a while. If this damages Spotify's recommendations, then it's entirely their doing.
