I already have the desktop app, what difference should this even make? Pointless gatekeeping by the devs

    Discover Weekly has been a joke for ages too.

    Fr, I just listened to the most recent 2-3 months worth on my backlog (I auto-archive my DW lists so they don’t disappear the next week lol) and I think a whopping 2 songs made it on to my master playlist. Usually there’s like 10 or more for similar time periods…I was just blaming it on my tastes confusing the algorithm (I like to jump around genre’s a LOT lmao) but maybe it wasn’t just me after all lol

      If you save a song the system thinks you like it, so by continually auto-saving all the songs on your discover weekly you’re actually training it to give you recommendations that are further and further away from what you like

          Setup another Spotify account, then share your dw playlist with it, and have that account save the songs over there. Just an idea

      Same here, usually I get at least 1 or 2 songs I like from each week but lately it’s garbage meme songs or songs that I find annoying to listen to. My genres are everywhere too, pretty much everything except country music.
