"Anyone notice Youtube's music recommendation/autoplay stinks now?"
I swear youtube had one of the best autoplay and recommending great songs after picking one song. Way superior to Spotify whose radio based off a song feature is garbage.
But lately, Youtube Music keeps trying to play the same song for me. I like Return of the Mack, but I don't want to hear it every time I play a song on YT.
Seems like Pandora is the only music services with a music recommendation feature worth a damn (maybe Apple Music, but don't use Apple stuff).
Anyone else experiencing this? Did they tweak their algorithm or some shit?

How does my auto play go from Alexander O’Neal to Mall Grab because I played house the day before?
Shit sucks.
I’m getting the same 20 songs. They must be using the same algorithm as Facebook

When I listen to an album or playlist the autogenerated playlists that follow are usually right on point. Same vibe as what I was listening to with a mix of familiar stuff by the same artists/genre and new stuff within the genre that I wasn't aware of.

...usually ones that I've already played.
If I'm listening to Nirvana, YT just suggests/autoplays Nirvana songs that I've listened to in the past. Rarely does the service ever play a Nirvana song I haven't heard, or even jump to songs off an album I haven't played.
If that doesn't work, then it seems to default to whatever I play the most.
I have to look up discographies and search by song title to make sure that I'm not missing anything. Why suggest 7/10 songs off an album, but *never* suggest the other 3/10 that I've never played?

It’s totally different. Maybe I was too close in genre when creating a mix.
