Honestly it's loads better than current Spotify/YouTube Music suggestions. Mostly they just seem to suggest popular stuff that's heavily marketed...even though I seeded all my "thumbs up" with only eclectic stuff.
Yes, it's hard to find a song I really really like, but 1-in-10 seem to be something I'd add to my eclectic "thumbs up" playlist. And almost none of them are by any artist that I've heard of before.
You're not alone. For me, Spotify suggestions are "things you won't hate." Most everything is palatable, but forgettable and too usually not all that interesting.
I never get any heavily marketed music recommended on Spotify. Almost invariably it's something obscure. But I only ever listen to obscure music. I guess I'm saying I don't think the Algo is weighted for payola.

This is huge for me. Thanks.
