A lot of the time it's not an algorithm in charge. Most of the time now recommendations are based on who paid to promote their song or podcast.
Algorithms cannot be left running totally when sponsored ads can be purchased on the fly by content creators and musicians unless a site is lying to ad buyers about ad effectiveness.
