Possibly because these non-curated, algorithm/thesaurus hit-list mixes aren't particularly good? It would train people to ignore them outright.

I've noticed the design of these auto mixes a couple months ago. They'll turn up in certain searches now a little more persistently.

Idk, mine are pretty decent for my tastes, but I do use Spotify a lot so it might help if you have a bigger sample to pull from.

Mine can be super random. Listen to a song 100 times and it won't pop up on any related mixes. My son listens to 13 different versions of the lego ninjago themesong once and I got 5 playlist mixes for the damn thing.

Mine are almost always an ouroboros, as Spotify just seems to take whatever playlists I already listen to and then sort them into common-denominator auto mixes, using the exact songs from those playlists.

The mixes are good for what the name of it is. What does goblin mix even mean? But listen to the goblin mix and you will be like hmm yup this is a goblin mix.

Unrelated but is anyone else's front page on the app now just a long list? It's really unintuitive yet I can't find other people complaining about it. Also seems like my daily mixes have completely reset and have nothing to do with my listening habits

Yes, what the fuck is up with that. I can't even find my daily mixes anymore.

How were we supposed to find that lol. I have no idea why they don't just put it back on the front page.
