yes i have like 5000 liked songs now. Been on spotify for 8 years already. It was way more amazing before. I use to play a song then the next song will be something that other people listened but also liked the song I played.
Fast forward now. No matter what I pkay the next song is always a song I have heard before ESPECIALLY unholy by sam smith. I use to love that song but I loathe it now. I am playing a japanese song. Next song is unholy. I mean what the hell. Then I searched why is this happening.
The cause came out to be cache management. Of they have a song cached in your device spotify will play that. Guck the recommendations. So I thought lets remoce the cache. That does not work because their CDN has that songs cached now and I still get that god forsaken song instead of a true song.
I use to pay spotify yearly basis thats how much I used to use it. Now I have 4 months remaining but don't use spotify on my android. Only on desktop.
hm. very strange. I've never seen the same. Wonder if it's an iOS vs Android thing? I can completely understand not using it if that happened though. That sounds terrible.
I have both ios and android, also tried this on desktop and web player

Damn. I’m sorry. Well good luck with trying out other services. I hope you like one of them as much as you liked Spotify.
