I feel the opposite: my Spotify recs (after at least 8 years with an account) tend to get stuck on whatever I've been listening to recently. I've had to consistently go afield to find any new (to me) music. Even their "new releases for you" falls short of recommending me releases from artists I follow. How much less capable could it be?
Release Radar is consistently the worst feature of Spotify. It misses entire new albums from artists I listen to regularly, and seems to have a quota of songs to fill so after the first two or three it's no longer aligned with my interests. I can forgive it not being coherent since it's supposed to include multiple genres together, but I can't forgive it going way off from what I like just to hit 30 songs.
Huh, I don't even have that section on my Spotify. I have a "New music you need to hear this week" at the very bottom (none of it is anything I need to hear this week), but it's just generic "new music in X genre" playlists.
