every time i’m playing some old guilty pleasure that isn’t ‘actually good’ (think: just wanted to play a jock jam for a moment), i worry about the influence on next week’s discover weekly…
From personal experience, it seems like things outside of your normal listening don’t affect too much. At least in my case, my daughter making me play the Encanto soundtrack 250,000 times hasn’t affected my weekly or daily playlists.
After my kids have discovered Spotify my recommendations are totally ruined…
You can toggle the Private Session mode if you don’t want recommendations to be affected or others seeing what you’re listening to.
haven’t used spotify for a while now but I heard you can specify if you don’t want what you are listening to to affect your recommendations
You can also retroactively do it from play history, iirc.
I came here to say that I can’t believe Kidz Bop is still a thing.
