Such is the popularity of recommendation systems that we\u2019ve come to rely on them to serve us what we want without us even having to ask, with music streaming services such as\u00a0\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.wired.com\/tag\/spotify\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Spotify<\/a>, Pandora, and Deezer all using personalized systems to suggest playlists or tracks tailored to the user.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Generally, these systems are\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.wired.com\/story\/spotify-tips-and-tricks\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">very good<\/a>. The problem, for some, is that they\u2019re perhaps really too good. They\u2019ve figured out your taste, know exactly what you listen to, and recommend more of the same until you\u2019re stuck in an endless pit of ABBA recordings (just me?). But what if you want to break out of your usual routine and try something new? Can you train or trick the algorithm into suggesting a more diverse range?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>[ <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wired.com\/story\/spotify-feedback-loop-find-new-music\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">click to continue reading at WIRED<\/a> ]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>from WIRED How to Bust Your Spotify Feedback Loop and Find New Music Does the algorithm know you too well?
