I've been listening to music from the 60s almost exclusively on spotify this year. The algorithm is hell bent on me listening to the band "The Smoke". I really don't think a one hit wonder band that broke up in 1976 would be paying to have their music pushed so hard like that.
On the desktop spicetify solves this with the shuffle+ plugin. On mobile you can browse to a file in a playlist and start from there instead of shuffling the playlist. Turning off Automix also helps.
Technically right. Computer can't do actually random calculations, instead researchers have made pseudo random functions, which similarly behaves as a truly random function would.
Why the fuck is this downvoted??? They are absolutely right

Because it's not the reason. Pseudorandom number generation is statistically identical to random.
