    That is strange, I’ve had the opposite experience. YouTube’s mixes are great and interesting, and being able to pick from “familiar” and “discover” in your queue to instantly pick out different music rocks. Also the discover mix can be nice

      Weird. I just came back from 2 months on Spotify to make sure I wasn’t crazy, and for me, the playlists are noticeably worse. Don’t get me wrong, YTM understands which artists I do like, but they don’t seem to get what artists I could like.

        Yeah I dunno, I’ve always had good luck but I certainly believe you aren’t. Maybe something to do with how it has built your model

          Yeah. May just be one of those cases that has listening habits that work better with one of the algos than the other. Dunno. I also would love a proper desktop app, but a man can dream.

            Second the desktop app. I’ve accepted it won’t happen at this point. PWAs are pretty close these days anyways
