Right? I personally don’t use the home page at all. So, it is just a click.

> Spotify's recommendation engine and rightly so, nothing comes close

For the people who dislike AI recommendation, try to be more creative with your playlist search keywords. You will be surprised (it's heading past the 500 million users, many of them are also “curators”)
