Enjoy! Whenever I get in one of those slumps I try to pick something for myself, outside of Spotify's influence. I also found Sputnikmusic and Rateyourmusic extremely useful - you can find the most obscure stuff catalogued and reviewed on both.

This is okay to a point - past it you benefit from some manual input.

It can be kind of mindless to just let a machine pick things for you based on your previous habits because it can feed this ouroboros-like cycle of endless similarity.

I've had to 'Ignore' multiple songs I genuinely liked because the algorithm just kept feeding them to me over and over - and over - and then one more time because obviously I liked it so much.

So yeah, Spotify has been on-point with a lot of recommendations but it can be more engaging and rewarding to do a little legwork yourself, so to speak - or at least feel like you've done some.

>why do you think i was ueliton silva?

Because "they" have almost no online presence otherwise and your comment history is full of links and references to them. It's about as obvious as something can be.

And even if you really are just a fan it doesn't really change what you're doing being bad manners - post one or two links move on. The other songs you're posting just read as karma farming so you can spam more Ueliton Silva links.

You're actually also spamming your own music as 'Ueliton Silva', which is fine if you're going to do it once or twice, but be reasonable about it - 9+ links all within 10 minutes of each other isn't.
