Ask HN: How do you break out of an algo silo on sites like YouTube and Spotify
1 comments
I’ve noticed over the last few months that Spotify’s radio and “mixes” seems to give me way more of what I already listen to and not enough varied recommendations. I liked the old algorithm much better
Both the platforms keep recommending content based on my previous likes. Even when I am trying to find something new, the search results keep returning things similar to my historical views.
I open the sites using a VPN, search, find some new things, and watch/listen to it in my primary account.
But that is tedious and does not change the recommendation fast. It still takes ages to change.
