I like to let Spotify leave my playlist and just have it play whatever so I can add new songs to my playlist.
But from time to time it’ll play songs from some religious band (Usually Christian rock or Christian rap or something). The annoying part is it’ll sound pretty good, until I start paying attention to the lyrics and then I realize it’s a propaganda song lol and have to block the artist and move on.
Anybody know of a good list of religious artists on Spotify so I can write a script to block them ahead of time? (Or even better an existing FOSS project to do just that lol)
Uh. lol. I think Spotify’s recommendation algorithm isn’t up to the task and isn’t providing me with good playlists… But it’s never ever recommend Christian rock to me. Guess I listen to too much metal. Or it’s based on location or something like that.
Maybe use the ‘⊖’ Dislike button everytime this happens and hope the algorithm learns? I’d also consider adding some Dimmu Borgir or Pagan Metal to the heavy rotation 😆
Curious the songs in question so I can view the lyrics. I’d be curious if it’s simply working out of sound alone and not taking the lyrics in question when you’re liking and disliking things. Also a lot of Christian values are just things stable people acknowledge are the right things to do in life lol.
I was going to look up what artist I just blocked, but apparently you can’t see a list of what you’ve blocked on any of the apps, I have to go through and request my data and wait for them to deliver a zip file ugh lmao
I can’t help but wonder what your normal taste in music is that it even randomly suggests Christian stuff. I have a lot of religious-heavy music (some even were considered to be Christian-lite back in the day) and I don’t get the really preachy shit. I get more Chris Cornell or Creed. 🤷🏻♂️
When I had Spotify, if it played religious music for me, it was usually Bach or the like.
You must have listened to Mr Brightside too many times.
