Actually the author does the opposite, saying that YouTube’s algo is superior.

For me, Spotify used to be THE recommendation engine, but the last few years I found it to regurgitate a lot of the same songs, and recommended the same songs to people around me.

To be fair, I’m far less in “discovery mode” than I used to be, but Spotify is contributing to this by no longer inspiring me. It’s easy to get Spotify like everyone else and just be over with it, but a healthy discussion about active choice is always welcome.
